Diseases and insect pests of tea leaves cause huge economic losses to the tea industry every year, so the accurate identification of them is significant. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can automatically extract features from images of tea leave...
Mangroves stand out as one of the most diverse and biologically significant natural systems in the world. Playing critical roles in maintaining the health and productivity of coastal ecosystems, mangroves provide a range of services and functions, in...
Quantifying forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is essential for elucidating the global carbon cycle and the response of forest ecosystems to climate change. Over the past five decades, remote-sensing techniques have played a vital role in forest AGB es...
The use of wood in construction requires knowledge of the mechanical properties and the particularities that wood presents in comparison with other materials used for structural purposes such as steel, concrete, brick, or stone. The introduction ment...
Plants can produce and release allelochemicals to interfere with the establishment and growth of conspecific and interspecific plants. Such allelopathy is an important mediator among plant species in natural and managed ecosystems. This review focuse...
Bamboo, with its inherently porous composition and exceptional renewability, stands as a symbolic embodiment of sustainability. The imperative to fortify the utilization of bamboo-based materials becomes paramount for future developments. These mater...
In recent years, the use of wood has gained social interest, leading to a global increase in its demand. Yet, this demand is often covered by the production of woods of low natural durability against biological deterioration. The main biological agen...
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widely used for small target detection of forest fires due to its low-risk rate, low cost and high ground coverage. However, the detection accuracy of small target forest fires is still not ideal due to its irregul...
Tea diseases have a significant impact on the yield and quality of tea during the growth of tea trees. The shape and scale of tea diseases are variable, and the tea disease targets are usually small, with the intelligent detection processes of tea di...
This paper aims to enhance the accuracy of predicting the mechanical behavior of wood subjected to thermal modification using an improved dung beetle optimization (IDBO) model. The IDBO algorithm improves the original DBO algorithm via three main ste...
