Native vegetation around the world is under threat from historical and ongoing clearance, overgrazing, invasive species, increasing soil water salinity, altered fire regimes, poor land management other factors, resulting in a degradation of natural ecosystem services. Consequently, maintaining improving native condition target frequently adopted by resource managers government agencies world-wide. Adequate monitoring remains prerequisite for environmental decision-making tracking progress...
Plant viral diseases result in productivity and economic losses to agriculture, necessitating accurate detection for effective control. Lab-based molecular testing is the gold standard providing reliable diagnostics; however, these tests are expensive, time-consuming, labour-intensive, especially at field-scale with a large number of samples. Recent advances optical remote sensing offer tremendous potential non-destructive diagnostics plant spatial scales. This review provides an overview...
Abstract An analysis using an artificial neural network model suggests that the tropical forests of north Queensland are highly sensitive to climate change within range is likely occur in next 50–100 years. The distribution and extent environments suitable for 15 structural forest types were estimated, model, 10 scenarios include warming up 1°C altered precipitation from –10% +20%. Large changes predicted with even minor change. Increased favours some rainforest types, whereas decreased...
Driven by the high social costs and emotional trauma that result from traffic accidents around world, research into understanding factors influence accident occurrence is critical. There a lack of consensus about how management congestion may affect accidents. This paper aims to improve our this relationship analysing at 120 intersections in Adelaide, Australia. Data comprised 1629 motor vehicle with volumes dataset more than five million hourly measurements. The effect rainfall was also...
The establishment of an effective policy response to rising heatwave impacts is most when the history heatwaves, their current and future risks, are mapped by a common metric. In meteorological agencies aim develop seamless climate, forecast, warning heat impact services, spanning all temporal spatial scales. ability diagnose severity using Excess Heat Factor (EHF) has allowed Australian Bureau Meteorology (the Bureau) publicly release 7-day maps since 2014.

This paper reviews the current status and development of remote sensing methods for monitoring rangeland condition. Remote offers ideal solutions assessing ecological indicators in vast regions, with expanding opportunities emerging through new platforms, sensors analytical methods. We summarise widely used to assess ecosystem structure, function, composition review measuring them. present a framework rating maturity these evaluate their potential implementation into operational programmes....
The costs of global warming are substantial. These include expenses from occupational illnesses and injuries (OIIs), which have been associated with increases during heatwaves. This study estimated retrospective projected future heatwave-attributable OIIs their in Australia.Climate workers' compensation claims data were extracted seven Australian capital cities representing July 2005 to June 2018. Heatwaves defined using the Excess Heat Factor. separately per city pooled derive national...
Grapevine virus-associated disease such as grapevine leafroll (GLD) affects health worldwide. Current diagnostic methods are either highly costly (laboratory-based diagnostics) or can be unreliable (visual assessments). Hyperspectral sensing technology is capable of measuring leaf reflectance spectra that used for the non-destructive and rapid detection plant diseases. The present study proximal hyperspectral to detect virus infection in Pinot Noir (red-berried winegrape cultivar) Chardonnay...
Fire is a crucial element in shaping our world, whether of natural or anthropogenic origin. These fires can have both positive and negative consequences impacts on environment, society its economics, not to mention global climate. Previous analyses fire regimes arid semi-arid Australia been limited spatial temporal extent. This lack knowledge has hampered attempts at effective management. Satellite imagery allows the continuous detection, monitoring mapping fires. Active be detected as...
