28 years of vegetation change (1978 – 2006) in a calcareous coastal dune system [PDF]
, 2010 Changes in vegetation structure and composition over a 28 year period (1978–2006) following removal of human-induced disturbances, were examined in a calcareous coastal dune system in Point Nepean National Park (380 19’S, 1440 41’E) in south-eastern ...

Multirobot Aerial Soft Manipulator for Floating Litter Collection
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A multirobot aerial manipulator enables autonomous floating litter collection by controlling the shape of a flexible rope equipped with a hook‐based tool. Adaptive rope‐shape planning enhances grasping performance while reducing tension, demonstrating the potential of aerial robots for floating litter removal. Removing floating litter from water bodies

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A distributed wireless sensing framework enables noninvasive monitoring of plant salinity stress through leaf reflectance measurements acquired with portable optical sensors. The collected data are processed using TinyML‐based neural network models deployed at the edge, enabling accurate, real‐time, and low‐cost classification of salinity levels, while

Environmentally Symbiotic Plant Robot
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.An environmentally symbiotic plant robot is presented that externalizes its drive system to plants and soil. By converting germination and growth forces into locomotion, the robot sustains a closed cycle of seeding, germination, growth, and reseeding, autonomously traveling on soil for 30 days using only environmental resources while distributing seeds

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Preserving ecosystem services, along with economic and environmental benefits, will require future landscape policies to identify and incorporate relevant landscape features. In this paper, we investigate the causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on drought‐related grassland damages.

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.
