Close‐to‐nature management regulates ecosystem carbon storage through its effects on vegetation community structure in Pinus massoniana plantations

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Forest plantations play an increasingly important role in climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration, yet management strategies that enhance long‐term ecosystem carbon storage remain insufficiently understood. We investigated the effects of more than a decade of close‐to‐nature management on community structure and ecosystem carbon storage ...

Hyperspectral datasets of boreal forest understory vegetation in Finland

, 2012
The understory layer or 'forest floor' typically has a significant role in forming the spectral signal of a sparse boreal forest. However, the lack of field measurements on understory spectra and their seasonality has restricted the development of remote

Hyperspectral species maps and LiDAR‐based structured population models show future forest fire frequency may compromise forest resilience

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Monitoring forest recovery from disturbances at scale requires tracking tree dynamics, yet traditional ground‐based approaches are resource‐intensive. We present a pipeline to parameterize integral projection models (IPMs) using LiDAR data and hyperspectral‐based species maps to assess post‐fire recovery across large, forested areas at the Caribou ...

Large‐scale characterization of horizontal forest structure from remote sensing optical images

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Sub‐meter resolution remote sensing data and tree crown segmentation techniques hold promise in offering detailed information that can support the characterization of forest structure from a horizontal perspective, offering new insights in the tree crown structure at scale.

Introduction and imitative wild cultivation of Dendrobium nobile in north of Sichuan

四川大学学报. 自然科学版, 2018
To investigate whether it is adapted to cultivate in north of Sichuan, Dendrobium nobile from Hejiang was introduced to Qinba mountainous area. Two years after introduction, they were measured and evaluated under two imitative wild cultivation models ...

Joint distribution of gap and understory response.

, 2012
Species level means, showing positive correlation in aggregate for αs,u and αs,g (a), negative correlation in the conditional means for low understory growth rate and high understory growth (b), and joint distributions of individuals within species p(g,

Scale dependence in remotely sensed biodiversity: Leveraging continental‐scale imaging spectroscopy from the National Ecological Observatory Network

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Imaging spectroscopy enables large‐scale biodiversity assessment, yet spectral diversity metrics are scale dependent. Across 15 NEON ecosystems, we find that spectral richness increases sub‐linearly from 3600 m2 to 4 km2, whereas spectral divergence shows weak or inconsistent scaling with area, underscoring the importance of scale‐aware interpretation ...

Understory

, 2015
The work ‘Understory’ investigates the notion of ‘Land’ as seen through the eyes of one Indigenous and two non-Indigenous artists. The work fuses two distinct approaches to Landscape painting traditionally at odds with one another.

Understory Light Conditions Associated with Partial Overstory Removal and Midstory/Understory Control Applications in a Bottomland Hardwood Forest

, 2011
Changes in understory light levels following a partial overstory harvest with three retention levels, combined with midstory/understory removal of selected species were examined.
