Longitudinal differences in Scots pine shoot elongation
Silva Fennica, 2018 Phenology can have a profound effect on growth and climatic adaptability of long-lived, northern tree species such as Scots pine ( L.), where the onset of growth in the spring is triggered mainly by accumulated heat, while cessation of growth is related ...

Radiative transfer theory for polarimetric remote sensing of pine forest [PDF]
The radiative transfer theory is applied to interpret polarimetric radar backscatter from pine forest with clustered vegetation structures. To take into account the clustered structures with the radiative transfer theory, the scattering function of each ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To
