Despite the growth rates of photovoltaic solar parks, their potential to alter land surface temperature remains unclear. Yet, resolving impacts is pivotal understanding implications for ecosystem function, and consequences society due perturbations service supply natural capital stores. Here, first time, we demonstrate existence a park cool island effect that extends beyond boundary, using Landsat satellite imagery. The was quantified two large ground-mounted Longyangxia (850 megawatts) in...
The utility of integrated models for informing policy has been criticised due to limited stakeholder engagement, model opaqueness, inadequate transparency in assumptions, lack flexibility and communication uncertainty that, together, lead a trust outputs. We address these criticisms by presenting the ERAMMP Integrated Modelling Platform (IMP), developed support design new "business-critical" policies focused on agriculture, land-use natural resource management. demonstrate how long-term (>5...
Indirect optical measurement techniques enable efficient and non-destructive estimation of plant area index (PAI). However, because they cannot distinguish between foliage other canopy elements, corrections are needed to determine leaf (LAI), which is typically the property interest. In this study, we investigate near-infrared digital hemispherical photography (DHP) as a means estimating correcting for woody material. Using data collected at deciduous broadleaf forest site, show that DHP...
Abstract Birds are useful indicators of overall biodiversity, which continues to decline globally, despite targets reduce its loss. The aim this paper is understand the importance different spatial drivers for modelling bird distributions. Specifically, it assesses satellite‐derived measures habitat productivity, heterogeneity and landscape structure diversity across Great Britain. Random forest (RF) regression used assess extent a combination covariates explain woodland farmland richness....
Abstract Woodland cover in Britain has increased over the past century and is set to increase further through woodland creation schemes aiming tackle climate change. Nonetheless, wider repercussions of increasing for species, especially invertebrates, have not been comprehensively assessed. Here, we quantified associations 2762 invertebrate species across 21 broad taxon groups using occurrence records collected by specialist recording societies. We then related strength species' published...
As an unprecedented stream of decametric hyperspectral observations becomes available from recent and upcoming spaceborne missions, effective algorithms are required to retrieve vegetation biophysical biochemical variables such as leaf area index (LAI) canopy chlorophyll content (CCC). In the context missions Environmental Mapping Analysis Program (EnMAP), Precursore Iperspettrale della Missione Applicativa (PRISMA), Copernicus Hyperspectral Imaging Mission for Environment (CHIME), Surface...
Woodland creation is crucial for nature recovery and achieving net-zero goals. Although habitat to improve connectivity assumed benefit biodiversity, this has not been extensively quantified across multiple taxa landscapes. Focusing on the UK, where woodland cover low (13%), we analysed species occurrence records from citizen science over 800 broadleaf woodland-associated invertebrate 15 in relation connectivity. Overall, found that increased positively impacts of these (effect species, when...
<p>Solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity has risen exponentially, with the majority deployed as ground-mounted solar parks, across world. Deployments are projected to continue, leading further land use change implications for hosting environment, including perturbations in ecological processes that underpin supply of natural capital and ecosystem services. Whilst alterations within park climate magnitudes known effect ecosystems have been quantified, spatial extent remains unclear....
The utility of integrated models for informing policy has been criticised due to limited stakeholder engagement, model opaqueness, inadequate transparency in assumptions, lack flexibility and communication uncertainty that, together, lead a trust outputs. We present the ERAMMP Integrated Modelling Platform (IMP) supporting development “business-critical” policies focused on agriculture, land-use natural resource management. demonstrate how long-term (>5 years), iterative, two-way...
