Radiometric measurements over bare and vegetated fields at 1.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies [PDF]

Microwave emission from bare and vegetated fields was measured with dual polarized radiometers at 1.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. The measured brightness temperatures over bare fields are shown to compare favorably with those calculated from radiative ...

Regional analysis of crop and natural vegetation in West Africa based on NDVI metrics [PDF]

, 2014
In West Africa, rainfall variability dynamics are often considered as the major driver of vegetation production. Land use shifts have also to be taken into account when analyzing changes in vegetation production.

Multitarget Recognition of Flower Images Based on Lightweight Deep Neural Network and Transfer Learning

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article proposes a lightweight YOLOv4‐based detection model using MobileNetV3 or CSPDarknet53_tiny, achieving 30+ FPS and higher mAP. It also presents a ShuffleNet‐based classification model with transfer learning and GAN‐augmented images, improving generalization and accuracy.

Unexpected Dual Function of Plant YUCCA Enzymes Links Chlorophyll Catabolism to Auxin Homeostasis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
YUCCA enzymes are well known to catalyze the main step of auxin biosynthesis in plants. Here, a hitherto undescribed dual function was discovered, revealing that some YUCCAs also act in chlorophyll degradation. In vitro feedback regulation furthermore suggests a link between chlorophyll degradation and hormone homeostasis and a physiological role of ...

Deep Learning Methods for Assessing Time‐Variant Nonlinear Signatures in Clutter Echoes

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Motion classification from biosonar echoes in clutter presents a fundamental challenge: extracting structured information from stochastic interference. Deep learning successfully discriminates object speed and direction from bat‐inspired signals, achieving 97% accuracy with frequency‐modulated calls but only 48% with constant‐frequency tones.

Increases in vegetation cover increase response more to climate change than to human activities in the Baiyangdian watershed

Environmental Research Communications
Baiyangdian watershed is located in the upstream of Xiongan New Area, and as an important ecological source of the new area, its vegetation cover status has an important impact on the environmental quality and ecological health of the new area.

Detection and analysis of vegetation cover changes in the city of M'Sila, Algeria, between the years 1990-2023 using the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management
This study aimed to monitor and evaluate the change in the vegetation cover of the city of M'Sila based on calculating the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) linked to Landsat satellite image data for the years 1990-2023 and measuring the ...

Dimorphic enantiostyly and its function for pollination by carpenter bees in a pollen‐rewarding Caribbean bloodwort

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Flowers that present their anthers and stigma in close proximity can achieve precise animal‐mediated pollen transfer, but risk self‐pollination. One evolutionary solution is reciprocal herkogamy. Reciprocity of anther and style positions among different plants (i.e., a genetic dimorphism) is common in distylous plants, but very rare in

Wind‐driven seed dispersal differentially promotes seed trapping and retention across alpine plants

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Seed dispersal can mediate species interactions between plants across life stages. Plants can physically stop seed movement (seed trapping) and prevent further dispersal following entrapment (seed retention). We therefore hypothesized seed trapping and retention rates depend on the physical attributes of interacting seeds and plants ...

Phylogenomics, ecomorphological evolution, and historical biogeography in Deuterocohnia (Bromeliaceae: Pitcairnioideae)

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Species of Deuterocohnia (17 spp.) show extraordinary variation in elevation (0–3900 m a.s.l.) and growth forms, and many have narrow geographic distributions in the west‐central Andes and the Peru‐Chile coast. Previous research using few plastid and nuclear loci failed to produce well‐resolved or supported phylogenies.
