The plant circadian clock has a pervasive influence on many aspects of plant biology and is proposed to function as a developmental manager. To do so, the circadian oscillator needs to be able to integrate a multiplicity of environmental signals and...
Hyperspectral images are characterized by hundreds of spectral bands and rich information. However, there exists a large amount of information redundancy among adjacent bands. In this study, a spatial–spectral combination method for hyperspectr...
The spatial distribution of the forest canopy plays an important role in the transpiration and photosynthetic capacity of trees, ultimately affecting their growth and biomass production. Despite its importance, how canopy photosynthetic productivity...
In plants, Spatial Genetic Structure (SGS) is shaped by gene dispersal and effective population density and is further modulated by life-history traits such as clonality and dioecy. However, the combined effects of these factors on SGS remain unclear...
Competition between plants has an important role during the natural succession of forest communities. Niche separation between plants can reduce such interspecific competition and enable multispecies plant to achieve coexistence, although this propos...
Urban vehicle emissions are strongly influenced by transient driving conditions, while route-level emission factors may conceal locations where high-emission events repeatedly occur. This study proposes a spatial recurrence framework integrating repe...
Habitat selection and daily activity patterns of large herbivores might be affected by inter- and intra-specific interaction, changes of spatial scale, and seasonal temperature. To reveal what factors were driving the habitat selection of moose, we c...
Balancing tourism seasonality remains a significant challenge in the management of tourist attractions. Despite existing research on the impact of seasonality from the perspectives of tourist intention cognition and spatial theory, gaps still exist i...
