Global mismatches in aboveground and belowground biodiversity [PDF]
, 2019 Human activities are accelerating global biodiversity change and have resulted in severely threatened ecosystem services. A large proportion of terrestrial biodiversity is harbored by soil, but soil biodiversity has been omitted from many global ...

Sounds of Soil: A New World of Interactions under Our Feet? [PDF]
, 2019 Soils are biodiversity-dense and constantly carry chemical flows of information, with our mental image of soil being dark and quiet. But what if soil biota tap sound, or more generally, vibrations as a source of information?

Soil Image Segmentation Based on Mask R-CNN [PDF]
2023 3rd International Conference on Consumer Electronics and
Computer Engineering (ICCECE). IEEE, 2023: 507-510, 2023 The complex background in the soil image collected in the field natural environment will affect the subsequent soil image recognition based on machine vision. Segmenting the soil center area from the soil image can eliminate the influence of the complex background, which is an important preprocessing work for subsequent soil image recognition.

Functional zoning of biodiversity profiles [PDF]
Environmetrics, 2024, e2865, 2023 Spatial mapping of biodiversity is crucial to investigate spatial variations in natural communities. Several indices have been proposed in the literature to represent biodiversity as a single statistic. However, these indices only provide information on individual dimensions of biodiversity, thus failing to grasp its complexity comprehensively ...

Towards an integrative understanding of soil biodiversity [PDF]
, 2019 Soil is one of the most biodiverse terrestrial habitats. Yet, we lack an integrative conceptual framework for understanding the patterns and mechanisms driving soil biodiversity.
