Sanitation felling against the European spruce bark beetle: A matter of intensity and forest type Tagli fitosanitari contro il bostrico tipografo: una questione di intensità e tipologia forestale

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.

Crayons × Code: Re‐Exploring Children's Drawings With Multimodal AI and Dynamic Ethics

Area, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children's drawings are used to study their environmental perception, but AI‐powered analysis of these visual materials remains underexplored. This paper re‐explores the use of children's drawings as a tool for understanding their perceptions of the environment, leveraging multimodal AI for analysis.

Engrained experience—a comparison of microclimate perception schemata and microclimate measurements in Dutch urban squares [PDF]

International Journal of Biometeorology, 2009
Acceptance of public spaces is often guided by perceptual schemata. Such schemata also seem to play a role in thermal comfort and microclimate experience. For climate-responsive design with a focus on thermal comfort it is important to acquire knowledge about these schemata.

Variable species establishment in response to microhabitat indicates different likelihoods of climate‐driven range shifts

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is causing geographic range shifts globally, and understanding the factors that influence species' range expansions is crucial for predicting future biodiversity changes. A common, yet untested, assumption in forecasting approaches is that species will shift beyond current range edges into new habitats as they become macroclimatically ...

Urban microclimate parameters for buildings energy strategies

Vitruvio: International Journal of Architectural Technology and Sustainability, 2016
Today, the cities need to increase energy efficiency, reduce polluting emissions and achieve a sufficient level of sustainability. The urban microclimate plays an important role on the buildings energy consumption and the feeling of comfort in the spaces.

What controls forest litter decomposition? A coordinated distributed teabag experiment across ten mountains

Ecography, EarlyView.
Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.

Fluctuating asymmetry in spider‐hunting wasps as a possible indicator of stress in Brazilian Atlantic Forest landscapes Assimetria flutuante em vespas caçadoras de aranhas como possível indicador de estresse em paisagens da Mata Atlântica brasileira

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...

Seasonal dynamics in terrestrial insect communities after the impact of the Brumadinho tailings dam disaster

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Despite severe habitat loss, insect species richness, seasonal fluctuations in richness and temporal β‐diversity did not differ significantly among forests adjacent to the mudflow and reference sites. We found higher wet‐season species richness for ants, bees, butterflies and dung beetles, while termites showed no seasonal change; β‐diversity was ...

Arthropod conservation in roadside verges: Unmown refuges outperform mowing equipment changes

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
While roadside verges might have potential as connecting corridors for grassland habitats and their inhabitants, roadside mowing negatively impacts grassland arthropod densities. In contrast to unmown refuges, all mowing techniques harmed grassland arthropods, with no significant differences between mowing equipment.
