Synergistic integration of vision transformers and advanced segmentation algorithms for panoptic mapping of marine litter

Frontiers in Marine Science
Marine litter is composed of various types of debris and poses a significant risk to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and human life. Effective management and mitigation measures of marine litter, otherwise known as marine waste, can only be achieved ...

If you leave it, you lose it: Managing human–wildlife feeding interactions requires constant attention, interdisciplinary approaches and long‐term monitoring

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human–wildlife interactions are becoming more common as we progress through the Anthropocene. People tend to feed wildlife more regularly as it is often popularised by social media and can counteract their disconnect from the natural world. These interactions impact wildlife behaviour, feeding ecology and zoonotic transmission dynamics. Due to

Nautical Tourism Vessels as a Source of Seafloor Litter: An ROV Survey in the North Adriatic Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Marine litter threatens ocean ecosystems, and nautical tourism, as a source of litter, contributes significantly. This paper presents a qualitative and quantitative study of seafloor litter in the Bay of Selehovica in the northern Adriatic Sea.

A cost-effective method to quantify biological surface sediment reworking [PDF]

, 2013
We propose a simple and inexpensive method to determine the rate and pattern of surface sediment reworking by benthic organisms. Unlike many existing methods commonly used in bioturbation studies, which usually require sediment sampling, our approach is ...

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

Plastic reinforced fiberglass- an addition to beach litter [PDF]

, 2017
Beach litter or beach debris are solid wastes discarded intentionally by human beings or unintentionally either through land runoff or by waves. Marine litter is anthropogenic waste that has been released in water bodies or on land. Beach litter can

Investigating boreal forest successional stages in Alaska and Northwest Canada using UAV‐LiDAR and RGB and a community detection network

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel application of UAV‐LiDAR and Red Green Blue (RGB) data and network analysis to enhance our understanding of boreal forest succession. The results indicate that tree height and spectral variables are the most influential predictors of plant functional type in random forest algorithms, and high overall accuracies were attained.

Litter as a source of habitat islands on deepwater muddy bottoms [PDF]

, 2007
Certain types of marine litter, usually considered as pollutants, may also be a resource, serving as artificial reefs on sedimentary bottoms. In order to study this aspect, marine debris was collected by bottom trawl from muddy bottoms (depths of 45-700m)
