Integration of Strong Fluctuation Theory With Rough Soil Models for Improving Snow Backscattering Simulations

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing
In this work, we proposed a reappraisal of strong fluctuation theory (SFT) aimed at improving its capability in simulating snow backscattering. As conceived in the original form, SFT considers the air-snow and snow-soil interfaces as flat surfaces.

Validating antler‐ and movement‐based estimates of caribou reproduction using video camera collars Validation des estimations de la reproduction du caribou basées sur la rétention des bois et  sur le déplacement à l'aide de colliers‐caméras

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used GPS video camera collar data from barren‐ground caribou in the Porcupine and Western Arctic herds to validate antler‐ and movement‐based methods for estimating annual reproductive metrics. Antler retention was highly accurate for estimating parturition, but the movement methods we tested performed marginally for estimating parturition and ...

Recovery of southern mountain caribou habitat following wildfire in Ulkatcho territory, British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Caribou forage lichens were present in post‐burn lodgepole pine stands multiple decades before stem‐density was likely open enough to attract wintering caribou. We posit that the prolonged self‐thinning of lodgepole pine after fire may be a greater limiting factor than lichen abundance for habitat recovery in lodgepole pine forests.

Interannual variability in air temperature and snow drives differences in ice formation and growth

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
. Recent warming of northern high-latitude regions has raised critical concerns regarding the safety and reliability of frozen lakes for winter transportation and recreation. This issue is particularly significant in Canada's Northwest Territories (NWT),

Afforestation Partially Offsets Losses of Soil Conservation Services and Carbon Stock From Direct and Indirect Urban Expansion in China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion has exerted both direct and indirect impacts on natural land and ecosystem services it supports, driven by increasing population and food demand, yet these underlying pathways remain insufficiently distinguished. Here, we quantified the losses of soil conservation services (water erosion regulation and sandstorm prevention) and
