Range Expansion of Moose in Arctic Alaska Linked to Warming and Increased Shrub Habitat

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Twentieth century warming has increased vegetation productivity and shrub cover across northern tundra and treeline regions, but effects on terrestrial wildlife have not been demonstrated on a comparable scale.

Digital Spatial Technologies to Compose the Map of the Southeast Iberia Megalithic Phenomenon. The Case Study of Fonelas (Granada, Spain)

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Megalithic landscapes in Southeast Iberia remain unevenly and insufficiently documented, particularly in rugged areas where traditional survey methods are limited. This paper addresses this gap by applying a multiscalar approach to the megalithic necropolises of the Fardes River (Granada, Spain), with the objective of detecting, documenting ...

Green-Down Protocol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The purpose of this resource is to observe plant green-down and report greendown data to help validate estimates of the end of the plant growing season. Students monitor the change in color of selected leaves of trees, shrubs or grasses.

Contrasting shrub species respond to early summer temperatures leading to correspondence of shrub growth patterns

open access: yes, 2018
The Arctic-alpine biome is warming rapidly, resulting in a gradual replacement of low statured species by taller woody species in many tundra ecosystems.

Effects of shrub encroachment on soil organic carbon in global grasslands

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of shrub encroachment on soil organic carbon (SOC) content at broad scales and its controls. We conducted a meta-analysis using paired control data of shrub-encroached grassland (SEG) vs. non-SEG collected from 142

Data, not documents: Moving beyond theories of information‐seeking behavior to advance data discovery

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 649-664, April 2025.
Abstract Many theories of human information behavior (HIB) assume that information objects are in text document format. This paper argues four important HIB theories are insufficient for describing users' search strategies for data because of assumptions about the attributes of objects that users seek.

Why Be a Shrub? A Basic Model and Hypotheses for the Adaptive Values of a Common Growth Form

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Shrubs are multi-stemmed short woody plants, more widespread than trees, important in many ecosystems, neglected in ecology compared to herbs and trees, but currently in focus due to their global expansion.

BRSMamba: Boundary-Aware Mamba for Forest and Shrub Segmentation From Diverse Satellite Imagery

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Vegetation, as a critical ecological feature and irreplaceable material resource of the Earth's surface, plays a crucial role in environmental protection, resource assessment, and urban planning.

Mapping and Monitoring Fractional Woody Vegetation Cover in the Arid Savannas of Namibia Using LiDAR Training Data, Machine Learning, and ALOS PALSAR Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Namibia is a very arid country, which has experienced significant bush encroachment and associated decreased livestock productivity. Therefore, it is essential to monitor bush encroachment and widespread debushing activities, including selective bush ...

What characterises well‐connected schools? Exploring centrality in inter‐organisational school networks

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Within the educational literature, inter‐organisational school networks are commonly considered instruments for administration, management, and school improvement, but are rarely scrutinised as objects of study themselves. Conversely, in organisational studies, this perspective is given more prominence.
