UAV‐Based Precision Seed Dropping for Automated Reforestation
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wildfires and deforestation pose significant threats to forest ecosystems, motivating scalable methods for reforestation beyond labor‐intensive cultivation of native forest seedlings in nurseries. To enable large‐scale direct seeding of native species, this paper presents the design, analysis, and field evaluation of a UAV‐based seed‐dropping ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terminal basins provide unique aquatic environments that are often highly sensitive to streamflow contributions, making them a focal point for environmental water management. However, the water needs for terminal lake, wetland, and river ecosystems, and how they relate, remain a fundamental knowledge gap that constrains our ability to ...

Vulnerability to Dams of the Last Undammed Large Rivers of Southeast Asia
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The vast majority of large Eurasian rivers are regulated by hydropower dams, but some have survived as free‐flowing rivers so far in the Arctic and along stretches of the Myanmar coast. There, the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) and Salween Rivers, two of the largest rivers of Southeast Asia, provide a huge amount of sediment, nurturing floodplains and

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Temperate fens with only incipient, subtle signs of deterioration can be reliably identified using Sentinel‐2 and aerial imagery, which sensitively detect early productivity‐related structural changes. Abstract Small temperate fens rank among the most endangered habitats in temperate Europe.
