Abstract Estimating the botanical composition in mixed pastures is challenging due to resource‐intensive sampling methods overlooking grassland spatial variability. We aimed to (I) classify bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flügge) and rhizoma peanut (Arachis glabrata Benth.) in grass–legume pastures using aerial multispectral imagery and machine learning, (

Abstract Turfgrass management faces challenges related to water scarcity, making it essential to explore innovative technologies, such as remote sensing and machine learning (ML), to monitor turf quality (TQ) and soil moisture levels effectively. The objective of this study was to develop ML models using unmanned aerial vehicle and imagery technology ...

Estimating Plant Species Richness With Sentinel and Landsat Data Across Ecosystems in China
438 field plots were used to estimate plant diversity across ecosystems; 18 spectral indices were derived from Sentinel and Landsat data; EVI, DVI, PSRI, NDVI, PRI, GNDVI, and GMEVI were identified as powerful indicators for predicting plant alpha diversity.

In 2018 the Vaia windstorm caused severe damage to much of the woodland habitat of the golden Alpine salamander (Salamandra atra aurorae), an endangered subspecies endemic to the Venetian Prealps, the consequences of which are still being understood. We profiled the bacterial and fungal skin microbiota of 56 golden Alpine salamanders from forest plots ...

Predation Risk Does Not Delay Breeding but Reduces Nest Survival in High‐Arctic Shorebirds
We assessed the impact of arctic foxes' predation pressure on two sympatric sandpiper species. Fox activity influenced the breeding ecology of both sandpipers, with earlier nest initiations and lower nest survival rates in areas of high fox activity. ABSTRACT Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for correctly answering many fundamental ...
