The predicted intensification of wildfire regimes includes an increase in frequency, severity, and size. Therefore, a study of the wildfires that occurred in 2022 is necessary to understand their behaviour and possible environmental impacts. The objective of this study is to analyse the applicability of using spectral indices and Geographic Information System (GIS) approaches to map the spatial distribution and estimate potential soil losses using Sentinel-2 imagery and fire severity field data. Soil losses were estimated using an empirical model based on soil burn severity data collected in the field after wildfire. The relationship between the Normalized Difference Infrared Index (NDII), Difference Normalized Wildfire Ash Index (dNWAI), and the Blue Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (BNDVI) with the estimated soil losses was then evaluated. In addition, the influence of different time scales of the satellite images was analysed. The first period considered (Date I) ranges from 8 to 20 days after the beginning of the wildfire, which coincides with the field data collection. The second period considered (Date II) ranges from 28 to 35 days after the start of the wildfire. The results obtained showed a significant dependence relationship between the BNDVI index (using satellite images of Date I) and the estimated soil losses (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.756), while the results of the NDII (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.31) and dNWAI (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.061), showed no spatial relationship with the estimated soil losses. Three of the largest wildfires in 2022 in Spain were analysed, and the results showed strong correlations of BNDVI index for Folgoso do Courel (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.808), for Carballeda de Valedorras (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.906), and for Sierra de la Culebra (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.939). In addition, these results allowed the mapping and quantification of potential soil losses in areas where fire severity was high, totalling ∼2,50,000 Mg ha<sup>−1</sup> in Folgoso do Courel, ∼3,70,000 Mg ha<sup>−1</sup> in Carballeda de Valdeorras, and ∼4,70,000 Mg ha<sup>−1</sup> in Sierra de la Culebra. Moreover, BNDVI values for estimating soil loss vary by vegetation type, and there is a positive correlation between severity classes and the BNDVI index. This approach can inform post-fire land management decisions in future wildfires and could be applied to other regions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"83 ","pages":"Article 102793"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1574954124003352/pdfft?md5=64382a314c6fdc9b93458e6684c44ece&pid=1-s2.0-S1574954124003352-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142077311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trunk diameter measurement, therefore, is a key task in both forest plot and urban settings.

These technologies are supported only on specialized devices or high-end smartphones. We present a mobile application that uses coarse-grain depth maps derived from an optical sensor, and so can be run on most common Android devices. Moreover, we use a state-of-the-art deep neural network to estimate trunk diameter from an image and its corresponding coarse depth map (RGB-D). We tested our app using a data set collected from four countries and under challenging conditions including occlusion, leaning trees, and irregular shapes and found that our algorithm has a MAE of 1.66 cm and an RMSE of 2.46 cm, which is comparable to accuracy from fine-grain depth maps. Moreover, diameter measurement using our app is >5 times faster than traditional manual surveying.","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142194279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of ecological communities is significantly influenced by variability, and the interaction between nonlinearity and stochastic processes can lead to phenomena that deterministic models cannot explain.

Investigating the effects of noise on plankton growth is essential for accurately describing and predicting marine health. We present a realistic biogeochemical model where multiplicative white noise represents environmental stochasticity affecting plankton. The model suggests ergodic properties in the presence of stochastic fluctuations, with temporal and ensemble distributions being coherent. Analytical and numerical analyses reveal that, given sufficiently low noise intensity, dynamics near equilibrium resemble an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck additive process.

Few studies have examined how migratory birds select their habitats for range occupancy at the species level and space use at the individual level simultaneously. We hypothesized that environmental variables directly related to fitness components would affect the range occupancy probabilities of migrants, whereas environment variables related to movements and flights would affect the space use intensities of migrants. We built Bayesian integrated species distribution models (ISDMs) to evaluate the effects of climate conditions, wind conditions, and landcover compositions on the seasonal range dynamics of American white pelicans (hereafter, pelican) during summer and winter. The ISDMs estimated the summer range occupancy probabilities of pelicans with Breeding Bird Survey data, winter range occupancy probabilities with Christmas Bird Count data, and summer and winter space-use intensity rates with eBird data jointly. We evaluated the predictive performance of ISDMs using independent datasets of pelican GPS locations. Integrated species distribution models outperformed the occupancy-only models in the predictive performance of occupancy probabilities. Climate conditions had opposite effects on the range occupancy probabilities between the breeding and non-breeding grounds, whereas landcovers had relatively consistent effects on range occupancy probabilities between the seasons.","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142194277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve the understanding of global Rs, we constructed single global models, and specific models classified by climate type, land cover type, year of the data record, and elevation range using the random forest algorithm to predict global Rs values and explore the associated uncertainty in the models. The results showed a similar overall predictive performance for the models, with an R-squared value greater than 0.63; however, significant differences were observed compared to the global Rs estimate (23 Pg C). All the models estimated larger values of Rs than the single global model, mainly owing to imbalances in the sample data on which the prediction models were based. One exception to this result is the land cover model, which estimates a smaller global Rs for 2020 (95.1 Pg C). Overall, the single global model estimates were closer to those obtained for temperate zones owing to differences in the training data distribution, which resulted in smaller global estimates than those of other classification-specific models. Prediction models using observations before 2000 tend to underestimate the global Rs. However, the use of classification-specific Rs models proved helpful in addressing the persistent temporal and spatial imbalances in Rs sampling. Expanding the coverage of Rs records both temporally and spatially and updating the global Rs database promptly would improve the estimation accuracy of global Rs prediction models while enhancing the understanding of the overall global carbon budget and the feedback of soil carbon with regard to climate warming.","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142194278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of rapid and timely water-quality assessment tools using easily measured variables is essential for the health management of urban water bodies. In this study, we focused on the dissolved oxygen (DO) of Baiyangdian Lake using 251 sets of empirically measured water quality data and corresponding Sentinel-2 satellite images. Nine machine learning algorithms were then used to develop a rapid detection algorithm for the spatial distribution of the DO concentration in Baiyangdian Lake. This study successfully applied these methods to invert the DO concentration in Baiyangdian Lake during spring, summer, and autumn. The results indicated that extra tree regression (ETR) provided the most accurate and stable results for inverting the DO concentration among the nine machine learning methods. In contrast, AdaBoost regression (ABR), Bayesian ridge regression (BRR), and support vector machines (SVM) exhibit relatively poor regression performance and lack sensitivity to DO concentrations. Moreover, the DO concentration in Baiyangdian Lake ranged from approximately 0 to 12 mg/L, with notable spatiotemporal variations. The highest overall DO concentration was observed in the spring, particularly in the southern region. The DO concentration significantly decreased during summer compared to that in spring, with higher values in the southwestern area and lower values in the northern region. The DO concentration reached its lowest value in autumn, with slightly higher values in the southern region. This study focused on the estimation and inversion of DO concentrations in the water bodies of Baiyangdian Lake. By introducing and comparing the performances of commonly used machine learning models, a rapid estimation of the DO concentration was achieved, thereby overcoming the limitations of traditional water quality monitoring methods in DO inversion. It not only intuitively explained the temporal and spatial variation patterns of DO concentration but also laid a foundation for further in-depth exploration of the interactions between DO and other water quality parameters.","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142194320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Controlling the growth of cyanobacteria in plateau lakes is challenging due to the unique geographical environment, climatic conditions, and impact of anthropogenic activities. Therefore, conducting simulations and early warning is crucial to effectively control cyanobacterial blooms in plateau lakes. This study aimed to investigate Xingyun Lake, a representative plateau lake in China, using the logistic growth model to analyze cyanobacterial growth patterns and assess the effects of control projects, along with the influence of meteorological and environmental factors. Moreover, the study proposed a method for establishing control curves and ranges for managing cyanobacterial blooms. The results demonstrated that the chlorophyll-a concentration in the effluent decreased by an average of 97.74% compared with that in the influent after implementing the integrated “deep-well pressure algal control” and “ecological purification for algae-water separation” processes in Xingyun Lake. The total annual decrease in chlorophyll-a was approximately 3.40 times the lake's total chlorophyll-a content. The growth of cyanobacteria in Xingyun Lake followed a logistic pattern during the blooming period, before and after implementing control projects (from 2018 to 2022), with the overall growth trend from 2010 to 2022 aligning with the logistic growth model. The study identified lower temperatures and precipitation, reduced nitrogen and phosphorus loads, and a higher nitrogen-to‑phosphorus ratio as the main environmental factors inhibiting cyanobacterial growth. Establishing logistic control curves for cyanobacterial blooms and sustaining the algal control project before the transition point effectively reduced the maximum chlorophyll-a concentration and attenuated cyanobacterial growth rate throughout the year. This study offered novel perspectives for preventing and controlling cyanobacterial blooms, offering practical guidance for lake management, especially in plateau regions.","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142225009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Visible/near-infrared spectroscopy has been acknowledged as a rapid and non-destructive method for predicting soil properties, and multi-task learning is a preferable approach to analyze the correlation between the spectroscopy data and soil properties. However, current multi-task learning models with the soft parameter sharing structure extremely rely on the task relatedness. To tackle this limitation, we proposed PS-MTL-LUCAS, a multi-task learning with a partially shared structure in this study. An additional shared layer was utilized to learn the general informative representations and interact with each task-specific layer. The partially shared structure ensured the maximum information flow between layers, thereby boosting the prediction performance. Also, the SHapley Addictive exPlanations (SHAP) algorithm was adopted to extract the feature wavelengths of each soil property. PS-MTL-LUCAS was validated on the LUCAS topsoil dataset (2009), and the experimental result suggested that PS-MTL-LUCAS dominated state-of-the-art models by achieving the determination of coefficient at 0.945, 0.936, 0.413, 0.624, 0.837, 0.952, and 0.956 for pH, N, P, K, CEC, OC, and CaCO, respectively.

The results revealed an upward trend in the ecological quality of the Heilongjiang region, with a high degree of spatial autocorrelation in ecological quality. The ecological grades in forest-covered areas significantly surpassed those in other vegetated, urban, and desert regions. Through a collaborative analysis of various geographical statistical methods, the intensities of the driving factors and their local response relationships were determined. This study provides a method for accurately and rapidly assessing regional ecological environmental quality and exploring the complex interactions of driving factors, thus offering a theoretical basis for monitoring regional-scale ecological conditions, balancing ecological and economic development, and informing environmental protection policies.","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142194280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
