We developed a spatialized surface for the primary food of grizzly bears in southeast British Columbia. After using this huckleberry patch layer to model habitat selection, fitness, and density, in a bottom‐up top‐down paradigm, we found that huckleberry patches near forestry roads contribute very little to fitness and density.

Abstract Premise Although ecological differentiation driven by altitude and soil is hypothesized to promote coexistence of sympatric tree species of Damburneya (Lauraceae), the mechanistic role of leaf functional variation on ecological differentiation among co‐occurring species remains unexplored.

Understanding the heterogeneity of biomass accumulation in second‐growth tropical forests following land use abandonment is important for informing ecosystem carbon models and forest restoration efforts. Using airborne lidar data, we quantify patterns and controls on aboveground biomass accumulation in second‐growth forests of Puerto Rico.

This paper aims to study and quantify the induced error due to the deflection of verticals (DOV) when integrating different sensors, focusing on GNSS and INS for 3D mapping in airborne mapping. It is shown that the DOV effect should be considered for direct georeferencing because the DOV components are in the order of (or larger than) INS uncertainty ...

Moth assemblages in Costa Rica rain forest mirror small‐scale topographic heterogeneity
Abstract In many tropical lowland rain forests, topographic variation increases environmental heterogeneity, thus contributing to the extraordinary biodiversity of tropical lowland forests. While a growing number of studies have addressed effects of topographic differences on tropical insect communities at regional scales (e.g., along extensive ...

Abstract Stand structure develops with stand age. Old‐growth forests with well‐developed stand structure support many species. However, development rates of stand structure likely vary with climate and topography. We modeled structural development of 4 key stand variables and a composite old‐growth index as functions of climatic and topographic ...

Inside the ice shelf: using augmented reality to visualise 3D lidar and radar data of Antarctica
From 2015 to 2017, the ROSETTA‐Ice project comprehensively mapped Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf. The campaign imaged the ice‐shelf surface with lidar and its internal structure with ice‐penetrating radar. The first augmented reality (AR) visualisation of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, using the Microsoft HoloLens, is presented.

These findings show that even small differences in elevation can lead to biologically meaningful variation in resource access that translates into significant differences in tree growth and survival. However, resource access could not fully explain the patterns of topographically driven demographic variation we observed. While certain species may still

Abstract The main causes of soil organic matter (SOM) loss are land use (e.g., conventional agriculture) and land‐use change (e.g., conversion of wetlands into croplands). Before World War II and until 1960s, the Ferrara province in the Emilia‐Romagna region (Northeast Italy) enlarged its agricultural production area through drainage of wetlands. After
