Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Middlebrow Aesthetics: An Explanation and Defense

open access: yesPacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We offer a philosophical account of the middlebrow as a theoretical category to do explanatory and critical work in aesthetics. On our account, the middlebrow ought to be understood as aspirational popular art. That is, it is art which aspires both to be popular (in a distinctive sense), and at the same time to be something more than popular ...

Deadwood detection – in-situ versus UAV-LiDAR based approaches

open access: yes, 2023
Deadwood is an important component of the forest ecosystem and represents a central input for carbon storage studies. In addition to information on the presence of deadwood, the volume or biomass as well as the degree of decay are of interest.

Redefining ecosystem integrity for an Anthropocene biosphere: a process‐ and lineage‐based framework for restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration increasingly operates in rapidly transforming landscapes shaped by human‐driven global change, where historical reference states no longer represent achievable or even desirable targets. Yet, ecological restoration and conservation management still rely on composition‐based definitions of ecosystem integrity that assume stable reference ...

Selective seasonal foraging behavior of herbivores on a Danish island demonstrated by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Understanding how herbivores influence plant communities is critical for managing biodiversity and ecosystem functions, particularly in conservation areas undergoing restoration or rewilding, where free‐ranging large herbivores impact the vegetation development.

Instance segmentation of deadwood objects in combined optical and elevation data using convolutional neural networks

open access: yes, 2022
Paper 1186312, 11 S.Due to an increased occurrence frequency of drought events and pest infestations, large amounts of deadwood are a current issue in temperate forests.

Coarse woody debris carbon stocks in natural spruce forests of Babia hora

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2010
Although coarse woody debris (CWD) represents one of the major carbon pools in natural forest ecosystems, little information is available about its CWD carbon stocks.

From Post‐Fire Interventions to Community Resilience: Learning and Adaptation in a Cross‐Border Region

open access: yesSociologia Ruralis, Volume 66, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the concept of community resilience in the context of cross‐border wildfire management in the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parks. It focuses on three interrelated dimensions: institutional preparedness, inclusive community engagement and adaptive learning in the aftermath of natural disasters.

Laser bathymetry on rough riverbed channels: State‐of‐the‐art and future prospects

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
This literature review found that topo‐bathymetric LiDAR has been successfully used to capture the structures of rough riverbeds and detect large boulders. While all of the studies that were reviewed used sensors that were operated from fixed‐wing aircraft, few studies have yet tested UAV‐borne sensors on rough riverbeds, despite the potential offered ...

Deep Learning for Satellite‐Based Forest Disturbance Monitoring: Recent Advances and Challenges

open access: yesWIREs Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, Volume 16, Issue 2, June 2026.
Overview of key research challenges in forest disturbance monitoring, including the detection of disturbances of varying severity, the attribution of disturbance agents, and the development of models capable of generalizing across regions. ABSTRACT Climate change and land use pressures are intensifying forest disturbances in many world regions, as ...
