Modeling urban tree growth as a part of the green infrastructure to estimate ecosystem services in urban planning

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Motivation: Planting urban trees is important for urban development. Foliage reflects, scatters, and absorbs incoming shortwave solar radiation, thus reducing the energy flow to the underlying surface, including streets, houses, and humans. Shaded areas,

Pedodiversity‐Based Covariates for Digital Soil Mapping Framework

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
ABSTRACT The integration of soil diversity as a covariate in digital soil mapping framework remains largely unexploited. However, we believe that it may carry important information that can be used to create more accurate digital maps of soil properties.
