Stand Age, Standard Retention Density and Site Conditions as Drivers of Shoot Biomass Accumulation in Mediterranean Oak Coppices

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mediterranean oak coppices represent an important fuelwood resource in Central Italy, but management decisions are often constrained by limited quantitative evidence on the relative importance of stand development, standard retention, site conditions, and climate in driving shoot biomass accumulation.

The Impact of Smoothing Techniques on Vegetation Phenology Extraction: A Case Study of Inner Mongolia Grasslands

Agronomy
The selection of data smoothing methods is one of the key steps in extracting land surface phenology parameters from time-series remote sensing data. However, existing studies often use default parameters for denoising the time-series data, neglecting ...

Estimating Land Degradation Level Using Remote Sensing Data and Fuzzy AHP Technique

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global environmental concern that significantly impacts ecosystem services, agricultural productivity, weather patterns, human livelihoods and overall well‐being. Prompt and precise assessments of land degradation status are crucial for environmental governance and sustainable development. Remote sensing data can

Phenological response to climatic change depends on spring warming velocity

Communications Earth & Environment
Climatic change is dramatically altering phenology but generalities regarding tempo and mode of response remain limited. Here we present a general model framework incorporating spring temperature, velocity of spring warming, and species’ thermal ...

Native Perennial Vegetation Buffer Strips Improve Structural Indicators of Riparian Protection in Mediterranean Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur.

Incorporating climate data with machine learning can improve rice phenology estimation

Environmental Research Letters
Crop phenology provides essential information for crop management and production. Satellite-based methods are commonly used for phenology estimation but still struggle to capture interannual variations of phenological events.

Beyond Chemical Compliance: A Critical Review Toward Microbiome‐Informed Ecological Exit Criteria for Bioremediated Soils

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical compliance remains the usual endpoint for closing contaminated‐soil remediation projects, although it does not establish recovery of soil function or the durability of the post‐treatment state. This critical review examines when microbiological evidence can contribute to ecological closure decisions.

Plant Phenology Models

In this chapter, we provide an overview of plant phenology modeling, focusing on mechanistic phenology models. After a brief history of plant phenology modeling, we present the different models, which have been described in the literature and highlight the main differences between them, i.e.

Begonia quadricornualata sp. nov. (Begoniaceae) from India

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species of Begonia L. (Begoniaceae) belonging to sect. Platycentrum is described from the Papum Pare District of Arunachal Pradesh, India. This new species is distinguished by its dense, long, red to brown hispid hairs on the adaxial leaf surface of female plants, caducous stipules and bracts, and solitary‐flowered female inflorescence ...
