Within‐tree spatial heterogeneity of sap flow velocities and wood properties and its effect on the uncertainty of tree level sap flux estimates

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

Riparian vegetation succession of sandbars and response to inundation under the regulation of the Three Gorges Reservoir

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Human activities, especially the regulation of reservoirs, has a significant impact on the succession of riparian vegetation. It is already known that the riparian vegetation and the river hydrology have a coupled relationship, yet comprehensive study is

Niche‐tracking as a collecting method: Habitat‐targeted search strategies for taxon‐focused botany

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity science depends on more than collecting plants—it depends on how we search for them. Although GPS and digital maps have transformed fieldwork, they can also encourage repeated visits to the same easy‐to‐access sites, leaving other habitats and populations unknown to science.

Do Homebuyers Care about the 'Quality' of Natural Habitats? [PDF]

open access: yes
We study if homebuyers in Tucson, Arizona care about the condition of natural habitats and if they have preferences between natural and manmade habitats.

The use of the stable oxygen isotope (18O) to trace the distribution and uptake of water in riparian woodlands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Streamside vegetation forming narrow "corridors" in temperate regions, is typically dominated by deciduous tree species reflecting strong influences by human activities.

Efficacy of deterrents in minimizing nontarget species consumption of bait used for attracting wild pigs (Sus scrofa)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Evaluated repellents were effective at deterring white‐tailed deer from consuming wild pig bait piles without deterring wild pig bait consumption, although the deterrents were not effective for other nontarget wildlife. Abstract BACKGROUND Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are an invasive species that cause environmental and agricultural damage.

Using Deep Learning AI to Detect Riparian Vegetation Recovery Following a Major Flood in the Brisbane River

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐flood riparian vegetation recovery demands significant attention; however, the complexity of traditional remote sensing methods often hinders environmental managers from implementing rapid vegetation monitoring. This paper developed a model using a Deep Learning Model within ArcGIS to classify and detect recovery of vegetation with high ...

Mapping native and non-native riparian vegetation in the Colorado River Watershed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Revised October 24, 2018.Using remote sensing to map riparian vegetation, particularly single species such as tamarisk and Russian olive, requires georeferenced occurrence locations with estimations of foliar cover to train remote sensing-based models ...

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.
