We used spectral, textural and photogrammetric information from very-high resolution (VHR) stereo satellite data (Pleiades and WorldView-2) to estimate forest biomass across two test sites located in Chile and Germany. We ...

Tropical forests are globally important, but it is not clear whether biodiversity enhances carbon storage and sequestration in them. We tested this relationship focusing on components of functional trait biodiversity as ...

Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is an alternative of great potential productivity for dairy systems, particularly in heavily compacted soils. Plant density (PD) during pasture establishment can be related to forage ...

Existing global models to predict standing biomass are based on trees characterized by a single principal stem, well developed in height. However, their use in open woodlands and shrublands, characterized by multistemmed ...

Ovalipes trimaculatus is a commercially important, cosmopolitan portunid crab.However, environmental conditions that drive its distribution have never been studied. Thus, we aimed to assess the habitat preferences of this ...

Remote sensing-assisted estimates of aboveground forest biomass are essential for modeling carbon budgets. It has been suggested that estimates can be improved by building species- or strata-specific biomass models. ...

Vegetation biomass is a globally important climate-relevant terrestrial carbon pool and also drives local hydrological systems via evapotranspiration. Vegetation biomass of individual vegetation types has been ...
