Response of aboveground organs of Woody plants in the Qaidam Basin in China to aridity via functional economic spectra

BMC Plant Biology
Background 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 ...

Sectoral Evolution and Structural Transformation in Djibouti: A Multivariate and Regularized Regression Analysis Toward Achieving SDG 9

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Djibouti's economic evolution over the past two decades reveals a distinct dual structure: a steadily expanding service sector that anchors the economy and a volatile industrial sector driven by episodic, foreign‐financed infrastructure projects.

Complexity of leaf trait covariation for mangrove species

npj Biodiversity
The 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.

Future direction of searching for root economics spectrum: focusing on the fibrous roots “absorptive unit”

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.

From Prediction to Prevention: An Explainable GeoAI Framework for Flood Susceptibility and Urban Exposure Assessment Using Machine and Deep Learning Models

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.

Integrating multimodal data and machine learning for entrepreneurship research

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Extant research in neuroscience suggests that human perception is multimodal in nature—we model the world integrating diverse data sources such as sound, images, taste, and smell. Working in a dynamic environment, entrepreneurs are expected to draw on multimodal inputs in their decision making.
