Ecological indicator based comparative study of tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) stands’ herb layer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Tree of heaven ( Ailanthus altissima ) is one of the most dangerous and spread woody-stemmed invasive plant species in Hungary. By its nature it transforms its environment and reduces the biodiversity of the area. These processes

Performance and host association of spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) among common woody ornamentals

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Lycorma delicatula (spotted lanternfly) has a broad host range with a strong preference for the invasive host plant from its native range, tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima); it had long been speculated that L. delicatula could not develop or reproduce

Factors Guiding the Orientation of Nymphal Spotted Lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula

open access: yesInsects, 2023
A mark–release–recapture experiment was conducted to evaluate the orientation of spotted lanternfly (SLF) Lycorma delicatula White (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae) nymphs when released equidistant between two trees.

Lab‐Scale Fabrication Process Selection for Soft Robotics: Benchmarking, Tradeoffs, and Guidelines for Formative Manufacturing of Soft Silicone Components

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabrication shapes soft robot performance, but benchmarking data and selection guidelines remain scarce. We fabricate silicone actuators using two molding techniques and three mold types, characterizing them with cycle testing, microscopy, profilometry, and 3D imaging. Applying our lab‐scale, soft robotics‐specific fabrication evaluation criteria shows

Hybrid Granular–Elastomer Jamming With Confinement‐Mediated Stiffening

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A granular–elastomer hybrid jamming medium enables isotropic, repeatable stiffness modulation by exploiting vacuum‐induced confinement of an elastomeric network rather than particle friction. The actuator supports large 3D deformations (bending, folding, and twisting), retains programmed shapes when unjammed, and achieves an ~8× stiffness increase and ...

Allelopathic potential of segetal and ruderal invasive alien plants [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Central European Agriculture, 2018
At the global level, the invasion of alien organisms is considered the second largest threat to biodiversity. The assumption is that the high allelopathic potential is one of the features that helps invasive plant species to spread to new areas ...

Echoes of the literary text narrative in a tree image in Herat school of painting [PDF]

open access: yesپیکره, 2020
Problem definition: The mystical life, larger sizes, long life, death and life renewal, have caused the tree to have different meanings and sometimes even in ancient times to be sanctified as a mediator between human being and God and introduced as a ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Integrating machine learning, deep learning, and image analysis for seed species classification

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The growing demand for wildflower seeds in ecological restoration requires reliable species identification, yet current market products often contain heterogeneous species. As seed identification is labor‐intensive and requires advanced botanical knowledge, we evaluated multiple segmentation and classification approaches to determine ...
