BMC Plant BiologyBackground Plant economic profiles involve trade-offs between many functional traits of a plant that are often used as indicators to characterize major adaptive strategies, thus providing insights into plant distribution, ecosystem processes, and ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Afforestation is widely advocated for boosting carbon (C) sequestration. However, the stability of soil C pools in economically and culturally significant mulberry plantations remains poorly understood. The soil organic C (SOC) contents in different aggregates and the oxidizable OC fractions were measured.

Complexity of leaf trait covariation for mangrove species
npj BiodiversityThe leaf economics spectrum (LES) has been proposed as a framework for understanding leaf resource-investment and plant growth strategies, but it is scarcely examined in mangrove communities.

Ecosphere, 2019 As one of the trait‐based approaches, leaf economics spectrum (LES) has led to significant advances in plant ecology; however, hypothetical root economics spectrum (RES) which is even more important than the LES aboveground is still less well understood.

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study addresses the need to understand human engagement with empathic Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) digital companions (DC), as these systems increasingly fulfil social and emotional roles in daily life. Motivated by the rapid adoption of DC technologies and their potential to reshape human–AI relationships, the study applies

Oikos, EarlyView.Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

Oikos, EarlyView.No‐analogue futures are characteristic of the Anthropocene, but how global change, and societies' responses, will affect plant invasions remains unclear. Conducting research now to address future needs is crucial for guiding invasion management and policy.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.This research established a new object detection model based on YOLOv11 to recognise benthic organisms, specifically sea cucumbers, by utilising high‐resolution photogrammetric‐based orthomosaics acquired along infralittoral Mediterranean Sea beds. The model demonstrated impressive performance metrics and, when combined with the Deepness plugin for the

Functional composition of the Amazonian tree flora and forests
Communications BiologyPlants cope with the environment by displaying large phenotypic variation. Two spectra of global plant form and function have been identified: a size spectrum from small to tall species with increasing stem tissue density, leaf size, and seed mass; a ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rapid urbanisation and intensifying rainfall have increased cities' vulnerability to flooding, posing major challenges to sustainable development. Although machine learning models have improved flood prediction accuracy, most remain limited by their black‐box nature and lack of actionable insights.
