Urban trees play a key role in mitigating urban heat by cooling the local environment. However, the cooling benefit that trees can provide is influenced by differences in species traits and site-specific environmental conditions. Fifteen dominant urb...

Biological soil crusts (BSCs) hold promise for reducing soil erosion in subtropical forest plantations, and microorganisms profoundly affect the formation and development of BSCs. The effects of biochar as a soil conditioner on the diversity and stru...

Forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is an important indicator for characterizing forest ecosystem structures and functions. Therefore, how to effectively investigate forest AGB is a vital mission. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) has been demonstrated as a...

Determining the mechanisms of pine wilt disease (PWD) resistance in Pinus is a popular research topic, but information on volatile organic substances (VOS) and their role in PWD is lacking. Whether the difference in VOS among Pinus thunbergii parl. t...

Micro-drilling resistance method is a widely used tree ring micro-destructive detection technology. To solve the problem that the detection signal of the analog micro-drilling resistance method has excessive noise interference and cannot intuitively...

Under the background of climate warming, the increase in the frequency and severity of drought leads to vegetation facing severe challenges. A comprehensive and systematic assessment of the stability of vegetation under drought stress in the middle r...

Forests play a vital role in sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Vegetation phenology is sensitive to climate changes and natural environments. Exploring the patterns in phenological events of the forests can provide useful insights for...

Forests are an important part of the ecological environment, and changes in forests not only affect the ecological environment of the region but are also an important factor causing landslide disasters. In order to correctly evaluate the impact of fo...

Fires play an important role in the modern dynamics of boreal ecosystems. The article presents the results of studying the effect of old fires on soils and soil organic matter (SOM) of native spruce forests that were last affected by fires in the pre...

In recent years, frequent forest fires have plagued countries all over the world, causing serious economic damage and human casualties. Faster and more accurate detection of forest fires and timely interventions have become a research priority. With...
