The intensification of agriculture and livestock husbandry has led to increasing atmospheric deposition nitrogenous compounds soil acidification. We field measured extremely acidic soils with pH < 3 (i.e., the acidity domestic vinegar) over extensive areas forested national parks on sandy in Netherlands. These show stress from negative impacts increased forest health biodiversity. demonstrate that worsened an average approximately 4.5 current = 3.2 last 22 years for Natura 2000 Current...
Old-growth forests are essential for maintaining biodiversity, as they formed by the complexity of diverse forest structures, such broad variations in tree height and diameter (DBH) conditions living dead trees, leading to various ecological niches. However, many efforts old-growth mapping from LiDAR have targeted only one specific structure (e.g., stand height, basal area, or density) deriving information through a large number metrics. This study introduces novel approach identifying...
Forest canopies to some extent obscure passive reflectance of soil traits such as pH, well below-canopy vegetation, in the optical middle infrared portions electromagnetic spectrum (approximately 400–2500 nm) which are typically used airborne and spaceborne image spectrometers. In this study, we present, for first time, an accurate estimation pH across extensive areas using hyperspectral imaging data obtained from DLR Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS) satellite. Furthermore,...
Abstract Old-growth forests are essential to preserve biodiversity and play an important role in sequestering carbon mitigating climate change. However, their existence across Europe is vulnerable due the scarcity of distribution, logging, environmental threats. Therefore, providing current status old-growth aiding informed conservation efforts sustainable forest management. Remote sensing techniques have proven effective for mapping monitoring over large areas. relying solely on remote...
Abstract Fallen deadwood is essential for biodiversity and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. In modern management, there growing interest developing accurate efficient methods field estimation of volume due to its many benefits (e.g. carbon storage, habitat creation, erosion control). The most common inventories are fixed-area sampling (FAS) line-intersect (LIS) methods. While the estimations by LIS generally show results comparable FAS estimations, active management production forestry...
Air pollution has become an increasing concern in the Mekong region due to seasonal vegetative burning triggered by related anthropogenic activities and climate change. While assumption of a correlation between agriculture air is common postulation, little evidence exists on association fire incidents concentrations. The current study explores relationship satellite-derived occurrence, land surface characteristics, particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) concentrations for five Lower countries,...
