The effect of vegetation patterns on Aeolian mass flux at regional scale: a wind tunnel study [PDF]
, 2012 Although insight on the effect of vegetation pattern on Aeolian mass transport is essential for re-planting degraded land, only limited knowledge on this effect is available.

Using large language models to extract plant functional traits from unstructured text
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Functional plant ecology seeks to understand how functional traits govern species distributions, community assembly, and ecosystem functions. While global trait datasets have advanced the field, substantial gaps remain, and extracting trait information from text in books, research articles, and online sources via machine learning ...

Bayesian Inference of a Finite Population Mean Under Length-Biased Sampling [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We present a robust Bayesian method to analyze forestry data when samples are selected with probability proportional to length from a finite population of unknown size. Specifically, we use Bayesian predictive inference to estimate the finite population mean of shrub widths in a limestone quarry dominated by re-growth of mountain mahogany.

Hydrological Processes, 2006 AbstractObservations of land surface and snowpack energetics and mass fluxes were made over arctic shrub tundra of varying canopy height and density using radiometers, eddy covariance flux measurements, and snow mass changes from snow surveys of depth and density.

Modelled sensitivity of the snow regime to topography, shrub fraction and shrub height [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Abstract. Recent studies show that shrubs are colonizing higher latitudes and altitudes in the Arctic. Shrubs affect the wind transport, accumulation and melt of snow, but there have been few sensitivity studies of how shrub expansion might affect snowmelt rates and timing.

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Tree-depth and Vertex-minors [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 In a recent paper, Kwon and Oum claim that every graph of bounded rank-width is a pivot-minor of a graph of bounded tree-width (while the converse has been known true already before). We study the analogous questions for "depth" parameters of graphs, namely for the tree-depth and related new shrub-depth.

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 In the Southern Great Plains (SGP) of the United States, encroachment of the native invasive woody legume, honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa Torr.), has caused a decline in C4 mid‐grass abundance.

Thermal refugia and persistence of Texas horned lizards (Phrynosoma cornutum) in small towns
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Vegetation loss is a primary cause of habitat degradation and results in a decline in reptile species abundance due to loss of refuge from predators and hot temperatures, and foraging opportunities.
