Voxel‐SLAM: A Complete, Accurate, and Versatile Light Detection and Ranging‐Inertial Simultaneous Localization and Mapping System

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
: In this work, Voxel‐SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) is introduced: a complete, accurate, and versatile LiDAR (light detection and ranging) ‐inertial SLAM system consisting of five modules: initialization, odometry, local mapping (LM), loop closure (LC), and global mapping (GM), all employing the same map representation, an adaptive voxel

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. This work

Intraspecific variation in stomatal architecture, gas exchange, and drought response of a dominant prairie grass sourced from broad climatic gradients

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Understanding how plant populations adapt to water limitation through stomatal traits is key to predicting drought responses. The dominant C4 grass Andropogon gerardi, distributed across sharp climate gradients in North America, offers an excellent focal species to study stomatal architecture (size and density).

Spatio-Temporal Detection of Vegetation Change and Recovery in Fire-Affected Peatlands of Sumatra, Indonesia

Journal of Natural Resources and Environmental Management
Tropical peatlands are among the most fire-prone ecosystems in Southeast Asia, where recurrent burning causes long-term degradation, carbon loss, and biodiversity decline. Assessing spatio-temporal patterns of recovery is therefore essential for guiding

Rangewide responses of Mimulus cardinalis to an extreme heat event

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Extreme events are an understudied aspect of ongoing anthropogenic climate change that could play a disproportionate role in the threat that rapid environmental shifts pose to natural populations. Methods We exposed plants originating from seeds that were harvested before (ancestors) and after (descendants) multiple extreme heat events

Vegetation resistance to increasing aridity when crossing thresholds depends on local environmental conditions in global drylands

Communications Earth & Environment
The crossing of aridity thresholds triggers abrupt changes in multiple functional and structural ecosystem attributes across global drylands. While we understand the consequences associated with aridity thresholds, the key factors influencing dryland ...
