Desert plants in arid regions are facing escalating challenges from global warming, underscoring the urgent need to predict shifts in the distribution and habitats of dominant species under future climate scenarios. This study employed the Maximum En...

Against the backdrop of global climate change and increasing ecological pressure, the refined monitoring of forest resources and accurate tree species identification have become essential tasks for sustainable forest management. Hyperspectral remote...

As one of the decay-resistant woods, Korean pine is widely used in the construction industry. However, even the most corrosion-resistant wood is still susceptible to decay under the right humidity and temperature conditions. In this study, Bacillus a...

Understanding how regional and local climate variability drive radial growth in trees is necessary to assess the climate-warming mitigation potential of forests. However, tree species occurring in the same region differently respond to climate variab...

The aim of this research was to record changes in the population structure of epigeic spider assemblages in the Central European Danube Delta (Slovakia) as a result of habitat management measures and the impact of human intervention. During this rese...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of eight softwood species most commonly used by Greek timber industries, including furniture manufacturers and companies producing roundwood, sawn timber, and plywood. The analysis was based on in...

Camellia oleifera Abel (C. oleifera) is an evergreen shrub classified under the Camellia genus. It is an important oil species and has great economic benefits. At present, C. oleifera is widely cultivated in the Yangtze River Basin in South China, an...

Forestry machinery plays a key role in forest management, but its increasing weight significantly impacts soil condition. Machinery passage causes soil compaction, which alters the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil and affects...

Arid regions face multiple challenges such as population expansion, water scarcity, land degradation, and biodiversity reduction. Understanding temporal and spatial patterns of ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies is critical for sustainable de...

The advancement of harvester technology increasingly relies on automated forest analysis within machine operational ranges. However, real-world testing remains costly and time-consuming. To address this, we introduced the Tree Classification Framewor...
