Carbon Stock and Environmental Variations of Typical Plantations in Mufu Mountain in Hubei Province, China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystems play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. As a significant terrestrial carbon sink, plantations exhibit carbon stock patterns that are shaped by tree species composition, stand structure, and environmental conditions. Here, we investigated typical plantation types in the Mufu Mountain, Hubei Province.

Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of Morphing Wing Aircraft Considering Rigid‐Elastic Coupling Effects

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the morphing process, the dynamic modeling of the morphing wing aircraft presents the characteristics of rigid‐elastic coupling effects, moving boundaries, and low computational efficiency. Meanwhile, parameters such as aerodynamic forces/moments, center of pressure, center of mass, and moment of inertia would also change significantly,

Data‐Based Detection of Antagonistic Agents in a Robot Swarm Solving a Dynamic Coverage Task

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robot swarms can be deployed as moving surveillance systems, for instance, as mobile anti‐poaching systems for monitoring wildlife and detecting poaching activities. Since poachers have an interest in evading detection, robots are at risk of being hijacked and manipulated to behave antagonistically, for example, to prevent the correct ...

Marine litter can shift sea turtle nests toward the shoreline

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Marine litter is an emerging threat to sea turtle rookeries, yet its effects on nesting behaviour remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated how macro‐litter accumulation on beaches influences the spatial distribution of loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta nests on Boa Vista Island, Cabo Verde.

An interdisciplinary review of the interplay of conflict, socio‐economic factors, and land cover and vegetation dynamics in Colombia

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Colombia's forests play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity and mitigating climate change, but they are currently facing severe degradation, particularly after the 2016 Peace Agreement. Our literature review highlights a growing research interest in this topic and demonstrates how interdisciplinary approaches combining diverse methods can enhance
