LiDAR data acquisition and processing for ecology applications [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
The collection of ecological data in the field is essential to diagnose, monitor and manage ecosystems in a sustainable way. Since acquisition of this information through traditional methods are generally time-consuming, due to the capability of recording large volumes of data in short time periods, automation of data acquisition sees a growing trend ...

Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Ecological Stoichiometry of Shrub Fine Roots in the Alpine Region of Northwest China

open access: yesDiversity
Understanding the relationships between nutrient content in plant roots and ecological stoichiometry is crucial for elucidating nutrient utilization strategies and material cycling in alpine plant communities.

Scalogram habitat measures as predictors of bird abundance

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Birds select habitat characteristics, such as variability in habitat structure, across multiple spatial scales (grain and extent). Measuring habitat variability at multiple scales can better capture factors that influence avifauna communities than focusing on one scale only. One valuable tool in assessing habitat heterogeneity is the cumulative dynamic

Trade‐offs among restored ecosystem functions are context‐dependent in Mediterranean‐type regions

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Global biodiversity hotspots, including Mediterranean‐type ecosystems worldwide, are highly threatened by global change that alters biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services. Some restoration activities enhance ecosystem functions by reintroducing plant species based on known relationships between plant traits and ecosystem processes.

Dynamic riskscapes for prey: disentangling the impact of human and cougar presence on deer behavior using GPS smartphone locations

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Prey species adjust their behavior along human‐use gradients by balancing risks from predators and humans. During hunting seasons, prey often exhibit strong antipredator responses to humans but may develop tolerance in suburban areas to exploit human‐mediated resources.

Shrubs

open access: yes
[EN] Shrubs play an intermediate role between trees (volumes) and herbaceous plants (ground cover). They act on a more human scale and with their masses and groupings they can also add volume to areas and scenes in the garden. They are useful for establishing successive planes, layers, or levels in the green component of a park or a garden; they serve ...

Drivers of plant community composition and diversity in low Arctic western Greenland

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The Arctic experiences rapid climate change, but our ability to predict how this will influence plant communities is hampered by a lack of data on the extent to which different species are associated with particular environmental conditions, how these conditions are interlinked, and how they will change in coming years.
