Safety zones protect firefighters from bodily injury and death caused by exposure to dangerous heat levels. These zones are defined by maintaining a safe distance from combustible fuels, a safe separation distance (SSD) derived from flame height. Thi...

Seasonal droughts induced by climate change pose a significant threat to the normal growth patterns of forests in the subtropical regions of southern China. Therefore, it is crucial to explore the response of tree water use patterns to seasonal droug...

Distinguishing vegetation types from satellite images has long been a goal of remote sensing, and the combination of multi-source and multi-temporal remote sensing images for vegetation classification is currently a hot topic in the field. In species...

It has been widely recognized that replacing chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers (organic substitution) could significantly increase the long-term productivity of the land and potentially enhance resilience to climate change. Nevertheless,...

New Caledonia is a biodiversity hotspot with flora closely related to that of Australia and has received considerable attention. Endiandra (Cryptocaryeae; Lauraceae) is distributed from tropical Asia to Oceania, including New Caledonia, with northeas...

In recent years, the increasingly significant impacts of climate change and human activities on the environment have led to more frequent occurrences of extreme events such as forest fires. The recurrent wildfires pose severe threats to ecological en...

Constructing a scientific health risk assessment system for ancient trees is crucial for preserving cultural heritage and tree resources. As Fuzhou’s city tree, ancient banyan trees (Ficus microcarpa) with expansive canopies and aerial roots ha...

Severe soil erosion and land productivity degradation caused by inadequate vegetation cover pose significant challenges to regional ecological protection and sustainable development. To assess changes and variations in soil quality, three sample area...

Forest wood biomass is a key renewable resource for advancing energy transition and mitigating climate change. This review analyzes the physicochemical properties of forest biomass from major European tree species to assess their suitability for bioe...

Highland bamboo (Oldeania alpina) plays a vital role in supporting local livelihoods, fostering biodiversity conservation and sustainable land management. Despite these benefits, its significant potential for carbon sequestration remains underutilize...
