Abstract:
... It is important to guarantee the property of biological compatibility when estimating tree biomass of the total and components for carbon accounting under global climate change. The issue was successfully considered in traditional nonlinear regression models, but not for machine learning methods. A new method for approaching the compatibility of tree biomass estimation in ANN (Artificial Neural Ne ...

Abstract:
... Tree allometric models are crucial to accurate forest biomass assessment, but the acquisition of biomass data is one of the most important limitations in establishing biomass models. This study aims to propose an improved investigation method to quickly and practically obtain biomass data, establish species-specific allometric equations and evaluate the biomass allocation pattern for various tree ...

Abstract:
... Pines (Pinus, with 120 species) and oaks (Quercus, with at least 400 species), the two principal forest forming genera of the Northern Hemisphere occur in fire affected landscapes over a large geographical area from 120°W to 150°E long, and from 10° to 60°N lat. We compiled studies of 116 such sites of which 75 sites had data of bark thickness. Taking a meta-analysis approach, here we have compare ...

Conservation planning would benefit from explicit knowledge of these processes, notably for resolving conflicts with timber production, arboricultural or public safety goals. We reviewed published rates of development of five selected common tree microhabitats and the factors affecting those rates in ...

Abstract:
... Mortality from white-nose syndrome has made management and recovery of the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) a priority. Ensuring availability of diurnal summer roosts, where gestation and rearing of young occurs, is a critical component of successful recovery. However, observed variation in roost selection across the species’ range makes extrapolating data across physiographic regi ...

Dead wood, including dead standing trees (DST) and coarse woody debris (CWD), is a critical component of forest ecosystems that provides habitat and refugia for fauna, flora, and microbial communities and plays a key role in carbon and nutrient cycling.
