The concept of ecosystem services and their valuation has gained significant attention in recent years due to the profound interdependence interconnectedness between humans ecosystems. As several studies on forest have stressed human-nature interactions lately, research study area, environmental conditions shows rapid changes while human pressures forests intensify. Thus, questions are as follows: (i) what monetary non-monetary value provided by Piatra Craiului National Park (ii)...
Forest biomass provides a valuable metric for assessing both ecosystem productivity and carbon storage capabilities. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with Light Detection Ranging (LiDAR) technology, represents powerful tool estimating tree due to its capacity produce high-resolution three-dimensional data. We tested methodology within an area located in the flood plain of Danube River, part Brăila Islands Long-Term Socio-Ecological Research (LTSER) site. This is characterized by...
The eLTER Romania Web Platform is designed to support long-term ecosystem research by integrating in situ observations, remote sensing data, and advanced analytics . This platform serves as a centralized data hub for environmental monitoring across developed under the network part of European infrastructure, enabling researchers, policymakers, stakeholders access, visualize, analyze ecological efficiently. features automated ingestion , real-time observations from stations products...
Anthropogenic landscape transformations have promoted the provision of ecosystem services (ES) at expense other ES, biodiversity, and human well-being. We analysed transformation portfolios ES provisions, costs transformation, rivalry between categories biodiversity conservation during pre-communist communist eras. also examined EU influences in Romania’s Danube River lowlands. The environmental history social-ecological systems was used to: (1) map natural environments; (2) analyse outputs...
Ecosystems are providing essential services to humans. Food production, drinkable water, clean air, biodiversity support, climate regulation and nutrient cycling, mitigation of natural disasters, pests diseases just few examples ecosystem vital importance. This paper proposes an integrated approach for terrestrial ecosystems' studies targeting integrate in situ measurements acquired by automate ground sensors with Earth observation data analysis provide quality multiple applications. The...
