The article assesses the material footprints of households living on a minimum amount of social benefits in Finland and discusses the consequences in terms of ecological and social sustainability. The data were collected using interviews and a questi...
The paper suggests a sustainable material footprint of eight tons, per person, in a year as a resource cap target for household consumption in Finland. This means an 80% (factor 5) reduction from the present Finnish average. The material footprint is...
Precise aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation of forests is crucial for sustainable carbon management and ecological monitoring. Traditional methods, such as destructive sampling, field measurements of Diameter at Breast Height with height (DBH and H)...
This study aims to explore the correlation between the activity trajectory of Crested Ibis and meteorological changes. The trajectory data of Crested Ibis were obtained using the HQBG3621L backpack-style tracker, and the spatiotemporal characteristic...
Rapid global urbanization has intensified the demand for sensing solutions that can capture the complex interactions between urban environments and their impact on human physical and mental health. Conventional laboratory-based approaches, while offe...
Urban parks are often regarded as carbon sinks, yet their net carbon performance depends on the balance between vegetation carbon uptake and maintenance-related emissions, as well as the accurate representation of within-park spatial heterogeneity. T...
This study presents a data-driven approach, MLS-CAPS (mobile laser scanning completeness analysis for path spacing), for defining optimal path spacing (walking path) for backpack or handheld MLS surveys in ecological applications. By using an initial...
Urban green spaces play a vital role in climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration and storage. However, accurately quantifying their carbon sink capability remains challenging due to complex vertical structures and spatial heterogeneity....
A novel design of a portable funnel light trap (PFLT) was presented for collecting insects in ecological studies. The trap consists of a compact plastic box equipped with a light source and power source, along with two plastic polypropylene intercept...
Accurate forest biomass estimation at the individual tree scale is the foundation of timber industry and forest management. It plays an important role in explaining ecological issues and small-scale processes. Remotely sensed images, across a range o...
Accurate quantification of campus vegetation carbon stocks is essential for advancing carbon neutrality goals and refining urban carbon management strategies. This study pioneers the integration of drone and backpack LiDAR data to overcome limitation...
Owing to advancements in satellite remote sensing technology, the acquisition of global land surface parameters, notably, the leaf area index (LAI), has become increasingly accessible. The Sentinel-2 (S2) satellite plays an important role in the moni...
Individual tree structure and wood density are important indicators of forest quality and key parameters for biomass calculation. To explore the extraction accuracy of individual tree structure parameters based on LiDAR technology, as well as the cor...
