Abies nebrodensis L. is a critically endangered conifer endemic to Sicily (Italy). Its residual population is confined to the Madonie mountain range under challenging climatological conditions. Despite the good adaptation shown by the relict populati...

Salt stress severely limits the growth and ornamental value of pecan (Carya illinoinensis) in salinized regions, yet the transcriptional mechanisms underlying its stress adaptation remain unclear. In this study, a comprehensive genomic analysis of th...

Accurate estimation of forest carbon stock is critical for understanding ecosystem carbon dynamics and informing climate mitigation strategies. This study presents a deep learning framework that integrates Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery with an enh...

In this study, we comprehensively analyzed material consumption (fuel, hydraulic oil, lubricants, and AdBlue fluid) and estimated carbon dioxide emissions during logging operations. This study was carried out in the northeastern part of Poland. Four...

Mangrove forests are vital blue carbon (BC) ecosystems that significantly contribute to climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration. Accurate, scalable, and cost-effective methods for estimating carbon stocks in these environments are esse...

Dry jack pine forests exposed to elevated nitrogen (N) deposition do not necessarily exhibit traditional N saturation responses. Using empirical results from a five year above-canopy N deposition experiment, a simple nitrogen (N) saturation model was...

As the wood and furniture industry moves towards the vision of Industry 5.0, a major challenge remains addressing the lack of competencies. This study examines the self-perceived digital and sustainability competencies of 433 final year students at d...

To determine optimal light conditions for Hopea hainanensis Merr. & Chun seedling growth, this study examined growth and physiological parameters under four shading treatments (0%, 30%, 60%, and 90% irradiance reduction) over 12 months. Shading s...

The segmentation of individual trees holds considerable significance in the investigation and management of forest resources. Utilizing smartphone-captured imagery combined with image-based 3D reconstruction techniques to generate corresponding point...

Climatic oscillations in the Quaternary are altering the performance of angiosperms, while the species’ distribution is regarded as a macroscopic view of these spatial and temporal changes. Oaks (Quercus L.) are important tree models for estima...
