Post‐Fire Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics: Decline and Recovery Over Two Decades
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wildfire can significantly alter soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in forest ecosystems, with complex temporal patterns following fire events. However, research on post‐fire SOC recovery remains limited, particularly in dry‐warm valley regions that are prone to frequent forest fires.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The synergistic interplay among land use transition, rural revitalization, and sustainable development is critical for harmonizing human‐land‐economic systems. Understanding their diverse coupling pathways is key to resolving human‐land conflicts and advancing sustainable rural development in mountainous regions. However, existing research has

ERS Introduces Two New Measures Characterizing Rugged Terrain in the United States [PDF]
For all its beauty, rugged terrain can have complex and contradictory effects on communities. Whether made up of mountains, canyons, or other landscape features, rugged terrain (defined here as any location with significant variation in elevation) is ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global challenge, threatening biodiversity, food security, and livelihoods. Ecological restoration has therefore become a priority, with aerial seeding emerging as a key method to address issues of scale, accessibility, and efficiency. By dispersing seeds from aircraft or drones, aerial seeding complements ground‐

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...
