Estimating Afforestation Area Using Landsat Time Series and Photointerpreted Datasets
Remote Sensing, 2023 Afforestation processes, natural and anthropogenic, involve the conversion of other land uses to forest, and they represent one of the most important land use transformations, influencing numerous ecosystem services. Although remotely sensed data are commonly used to monitor forest disturbance, only a few reported studies have used these data to ...

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 283-300, February 2026.Abstract The Industrial Revolution triggered rural abandonment in Europe and had a profound impact on land configuration and ecosystem dynamics, mainly the growth of forests at the expense of open agricultural habitats. However, rural abandonment has been asynchronous in space and time, depending on regional socio‐economic dynamics.

Comparison of drone and ground surveys for the detection of a rare plant in a fragile ecosystem
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.We compared the accuracy, time, and financial costs of drone and ground surveys for the detection of wood lilies (Lilium philadelphicum) in an endangered alvar ecosystem. We found that the drone surveys detected 73%–78% of the plants found in the ground surveys, but that this type of survey was more expensive and time consuming than the ground survey ...

The legacy of pine plantations on fire severity
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 3156-3168, November 2025.Our findings provide quantitative evidence that pine plantations can exacerbate fire severity under contemporary climate conditions, and that, once burned, these areas seldom recover. Effective spatial planning and management of tree plantations is therefore essential in order to promote more sustainable fire regimes in Mediterranean ecosystems ...

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.Mediterranean Europe is facing significant pressures from agricultural intensification. The European Union (EU) Natura2000 network (N2K) seeks to mitigate habitat loss and fragmentation, but its effectiveness needs to be enhanced through Green Infrastructure (GI) to improve coherence between N2K patches.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 375-393, August 2025.Multidecadal satellite observations, like those from Landsat, enable the study of vegetation greenness trends at extensive spatial and temporal scales. Alpine ecosystems show significant increases in vegetation greenness, but the ecological processes driving this greening are less understood.

Fracture of Podolia caves in the aspect of rotational and tectonic causes of formation
Геофизический журнал, 2012 Problems of origin of speleoinitiating fracturing of Podolia cave networks are discussed applying structural analysis of labyrinthes, photointerpretation relief lineaments and conception of planetary (rotation-initiated) fracturing.
