However, atypical data points, arising from measurement errors, genotype characteristics, diseases, or climate phenomena, can significantly impact the model’s performance, by contributing to the violation of its underlying assumptions. To address this challenge, we propose a hybrid modeling framework called robust-weighted AMMI (RW-AMMI), which combines robust and weighted algorithms to effectively model genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) in the presence of data contamination and heteroscedasticity. We also introduce a comprehensive set of nine weighting schemes for the weighted (W-AMMI), robust (R-AMMI), and RW-AMMI models. Our extensive Monte Carlo simulations, which encompass both contaminated and uncontaminated data with and without heterogeneous error variance, demonstrate that several models within the W-AMMI, R-AMMI, and RW-AMMI classes perform competitively relative to the conventional AMMI model. Furthermore, we validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach using real crop data, where we leverage ensemble strategies to enhance genotype recommendations, providing practical evidence of its applicability. This work provides a hybrid framework for genotype selection under diverse environmental conditions, offering breeders a reliable tool for improving stability and adaptability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 103110"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143863837","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}

Detecting stored-grain pests on the surfaces of grain piles is important in IPM to minimize postharvest storage losses. Recently, numerous deep learning-based detection methods have been proposed. However, accurate perception of morphological features of small-size pests still suffers from various challenges. To address these issues, we propose PestDet, a unified detection framework for accurate and efficient detection of stored-grain pests. Specifically, we propose an enhanced feature extraction block (EFEB) with a large effective receptive field (ERF) and integrate it into a designed backbone network, PestBak. Thus, rather than solely focusing on texture features of a target, the model can also focus on more detailed features regarding the shape and contour of small pests, compared to networks with smaller ERFs. Meanwhile, we also present a one-to-many label assignment (OMLA) strategy for accurate feature perception to effectively mitigate the imbalance between the number of positive and negative samples by assigning more positive samples in the training phase. In addition, it adeptly handles the uncertain assignments of the samples. Furthermore, a regression loss based on normalized Gaussian Wasserstein distance (NWD) is designed to improve detection accuracy and model convergence by introducing an additional penalty for the location deviation of the predicted bounding boxes. In addition, Reparameterization is integrated to accelerate the inference speed. Extensive experiments are conducted on GrainPest, a scenario-based dataset. PestDet achieves state-of-the-art performance with a mAP of 90.6 %, precision of 85.6 %, and recall of 88.0 %, indicating that it can serve as a general pipeline for pest detection aimed at monitoring stored-grain pests in granaries.

This study integrates multiple satellite remote sensing indices and meteorological data to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of climate extremes and vegetation responses across China's Arid and Semi-Arid Regions (CASR) from 2001 to 2020. To address the debate over the dominant factors influencing vegetation productivity, we employed the XGBoost model to quantify the independent contributions of factors such as SM and VPD to multiple vegetation parameters. We also examined the interactions between these factors using a percentile-based heatmap approach. The results show that the three major CDHWs during the study period significantly suppressed vegetation growth, as evidenced by pronounced negative SM anomalies and positive anomalies in temperature (TEM) and VPD. We identified a potential critical VPD threshold, below which vegetation productivity declines rapidly. Moreover, the observed negative VPD-SM coupling (e.g., low SM and high VPD) is primarily driven by land-atmosphere feedbacks. Finally, Model results based on XGBoost demonstrate that VPD predominantly drives the decline in vegetation productivity during CDHWs in this region. These findings provide new insights into vegetation responses to compound climate extremes in dryland ecosystems, with implications for forecasting vegetation dynamics and informing adaptive management under future climate change scenarios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 103144"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143830404","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}

However, nationwide LiDAR datasets typically feature low-to-moderate pulse densities, which limit their accuracy in estimating such fuel properties. In this study, we evaluated how low-resolution LiDAR impacts forest vertical structure at the individual tree level by systematically thinning high-resolution LiDAR data to simulate typical pulse densities found in nationwide surveys. The study area encompassed diverse Mediterranean forests in Spain. Key fire hazard metrics, including leaf area density (LAD), leaf area index (LAI), canopy base height (CBH), fuel layer depth, and interlayer distances, were derived using the LadderFuelsR package at the tree level. Four fuel models, each linked to standard fuel model classifications, were identified and analyzed to evaluate the classification shifts across thinning levels and to quantify the rates of change in key fuel properties.</div><div>Our results showed that thinning causes a significant bias in fire hazard estimation. The CBH and the distance between the layers increased with thinning. In contrast, the fuel layer depth, height, and total and understory LAI decreased. However, fuel models respond differently to pulse thinning depending on their forest structure. Accordingly, thinning affected trees with open crowns and high understory biomass less because of the higher pulse density in the lower crown regions than in those with closed crowns and lower biomass. For example, the understory layer remained more stable in trees with open crowns and a near-ground fuel structure than in those with compact, taller crowns (≥10 pulses/m<sup>2</sup> vs. ≥100 pulses/m<sup>2</sup>). Similarly, the crown properties exhibited higher stability in open-canopy fuel types than in dense canopies. For instance, CBH and inter-layer distances stabilized at ≥25 pulses/m<sup>2</sup> for open, low crowns but required ≥50–100 pulses/m<sup>2</sup> for dense, tall canopies. Likely, canopy depth stabilized at ≥2–5 pulses/m<sup>2</sup> in open-canopy trees but required ≥25–50 pulses/m<sup>2</sup> in denser forests. Moreover, not all fuel metrics responded uniformly to pulse thinning. Height-based metrics were less affected than crown- and distance-related metrics, whereas the LAI was the most sensitive, declining steadily with lower pulse densities. Finally, we aggregated the tree-level data by median values before estimating the rates of change-masked intra-variability, particularly in highly heterogeneous fuel models. This study highlights the need for tailored LiDAR pulse-density thresholds in nationwide surveys to ensure a balance between data costs and reliability to support forest management and wildfire risk mitigation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 103135"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143830393","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}
