Diversity of Forest and Shrub Communities as a Result of Site History and of Extensive and Intensive Forest Management (Glinno Ługi Case Study) [PDF]
The paper presents the diversity of natural and anthropogenic forest communities occurring in post-cultivated fields in Glinno Ługi. An impoverished fresh pine forest association (Leucobryo-Pinetum) and nine secondary forest communities have been ...

To provide pollinator nesting habitat, cut dead perennial stems in their first winter
Garden management practises need to consider stem‐nesting bees and wasps to avoid destroying active nests and important nesting materials. Volunteers collected samples of dead stems (in situ where they grew) in winter, spring, summer and fall as part of a participatory research project.

Summary Reflectance spectroscopy is a rapid method for estimating traits and discriminating species. Spectral libraries from herbarium specimens represent an untapped resource for generating broad phenomic datasets across space, time, and taxa. We conducted a proof‐of‐concept study using trait data and spectra from herbarium specimens up to 179 yr old,

Biological control of Rubus alceifolius (Rosaceae) in La Reunion Island (Indian Ocean): from investigations on the plant to the release of the biological control agent Cibdela janthina (Argidae) [PDF]
The giant bramble (Rubus alceifolius Poir.: Rosaceae), native to Southeast Asia, is one of the most invasive plants in La Reunion. A ten year research program was launched in 1997 with three components: i) genetic diversity, ii) development strategy, and

A systematic color correction pipeline for controlled‐environment imaging
ABSTRACT We present a stepwise color correction (CC) pipeline for controlled imaging environments. The workflow integrates flat‐field correction (FFC), gamma correction, and white‐balance correction, followed by a color‐mapping (CM) stage using machine‐learning regression—linear, partial least squares, and neural networks (NNs)—to deliver reliable CC ...

A hysteretic model predicts a time lag in the response of herbaceous layer variables (e.g., cover, diversity) to decreasing N deposition. To the contrary, virtually all such variables displayed a surprising sensitivity to decreased N. ABSTRACT Increases in nitrogen (N) emissions during the 20th century resulted in the atmospheric deposition of N ...
