Abstract:
... The vertical distribution of air pollutants in urban street canyons is closely related to residents’ health. However, the vertical air quality in urban street canyons has rarely been assessed using field observations obtained throughout the year. Therefore, this study investigated the seasonal and annual concentrations of particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀), CO, NO₂, SO₂, O₃, air quality index, an ...

Abstract:
... Crataegus and Berberis shrublands are natively distributed in Asia, Europe, North America and Africa. Despite the widespread distribution of these two species, the effect of pure and mixed canopy composition of these species on bioindicators of soil quality has received little attention. In the current research, the effect of pure [Crataegus (PC) and Berberis (PB)] and mixed [Crataegus and Berberi ...

Abstract:
... The reduction of deadwood due to forest management threatens saproxylic diversity. Therefore, deadwood needs to be preserved and enriched. While the importance of deadwood tree identity is well investigated, the value of different object types and microclimate for diversity is insufficiently understood. Conservation-oriented forest management, therefore, requires guidelines on how deadwood types u ...

Abstract:
... Variate but similar microclimate in different buses of a distribution system usually leads to correlated photovoltaic (PV) outputs. Such correlation may reduce the PV output uncertainty and enhance the hosting capacity of active distribution networks (ADNs). To fully elucidate the hosting capacity of geographically dispersed PV, this paper proposes a novel robust comprehensive PV capacity assessme ...

Like in other vineyards all around the world, the typicity of wines and the phenology of vines have changed, particularly since the 1970s. Trends in the growing season average temperature and in Huglin’s heliothermal index show that the climate in t ...

Abstract:
... In the last decade, the number of studies dealing with how species interaction networks are structured by landscape has increased in the literature. However, many studies quantify landscape metrics at one single spatial extent, without considering the effects at multiple spatial extents. To the best of our knowledge, no study has explicitly addressed and discussed the spatial extent at which lands ...

Two DNN methods were used. The first DNN used convolutional layers, while the second DNN was based on fully-connected layers and was trained by cross-validation techniques. The machine learning used the K-nea ...

Abstract:
... Digital/true orthoimage maps (D/TOMs) are one of the most important forms of national spatial data infrastructure (NSDI). The traditional generation of D/TOM is to orthorectify an aerial image into its upright and correct position by deleting displacements on and distortions of imagery. This results in the generated D/TOM having no building façade texture when the D/TOM superimposes on the digital ...
