The Long River Survey, part of the Hudson River Biological Monitoring Program, in the Hudson River Estuary (HRE), has undergone considerable protocol changes, and was calibrated to address these issues in 2023. This survey and region are an excellent case study to compare two approaches in constructing HSI models: using calibrated versus uncalibrated abundance data and weighting all environmental variables equally or using a model-based weighting method. The results of this study suggest that using calibrated abundance data with unweighted habitat variables provide the most robust estimates for bay anchovy suitable spawning habitat in the HRE, which indicates that in cases when sampling has not been consistent over time, using calibrated abundance data in habitat suitability modelling may lead to improved models. Some model configurations were unable to identify a significant trend in suitable habitat over time and overestimated habitat quality illustrating the importance of carefully considering data inputs and model configuration when building habitat models to properly quantify suitable habitat and contribute to ecosystem-based fisheries management in the wake of climate change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"87 ","pages":"Article 103086"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143465028","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}

We validated model performance by mapping the spatial distributions of sand, silt, and clay particle fractions in the city (30-m resolution), using the boosting algorithms adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM), and categorical boosting (CatBoost). Among the environmental covariates, the kTVDI, digital elevation index, and salinity index have the highest importance values for soil texture prediction. The kTVDI is better for sand and silt prediction (especially sand). When combined with AdaBoost, the kTVDI can effectively improve the accuracy and consistency of the prediction model. Uncertainty analyses showed that the kTVDI was more effective at modeling soil texture in the plains. In summary, we present a new approach for accurately predicting the spatial distribution of soil texture and empirically validate its effectiveness and advantages for practical applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"87 ","pages":"Article 103083"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143453727","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}

Differently than in a classical Lotka–Volterra competition model, here we assume that the invasive species grow following a generalized logistic growth law while the native population a logistic one. Moreover, in the competition term we take into account the fact that the two populations of plant interact in a 3D space and the interaction occurs on the borders of the vegetation patch and/or volume, meaning that both densities will be characterized also by two exponents. A complete mathematical analysis of the proposed model was done by studying also some particular cases of it. The model is characterized by the presence of different equilibrium points such as the trivial equilibrium point, where both populations get extinct, the Carpobrotus-free equilibrium, the native-plant-free equilibrium and the coexistence, where both plant populations coexists. Computational simulations show that different bistability scenarios exist but also the tristability of the last three equilibrium introduced above was studied. The obtained results suggest that external factors, due to human intervention, that leads to a decrease in the initial population of <em>Carpobrotus</em> sp. pl. and/or increase of the native population might help in having the stability of the Carpobrotus-free equilibrium or the coexistence equilibrium.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"87 ","pages":"Article 103070"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143471478","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}

However, determining territorial suitability and future distribution under climate change scenarios is a relatively understudied area in Peru. This study assessed the beekeeping suitability of the Amazonas region and its variation under climate change scenarios in two projected periods (2041–2060 and 2081–2100), according to Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP). The methodological framework integrated the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and the Hadley Centre Global Earth Model - Global Coupled configuration 3.1 (HadGEM3-GC31-LL) was used for future climate analysis. The beekeeping suitability of the region was determined based on eleven criteria: four climatic, three topographic, and four environmental. The results indicate that beekeeping suitability is distributed as follows: 3.4 % (1417.90 km<sup>2</sup>) with ‘High’ suitability, 79.2 % (33,318.61 km<sup>2</sup>) with ‘Moderate’ suitability, 17.2 % (7230.26 km<sup>2</sup>) with ‘Marginal’ suitability, and 0.2 % (83.64 km<sup>2</sup>) as ‘Not suitable’. Moreover, the average temperature across the region is projected to increase by approximately 3 °C under the SSP2–4.5 scenario and between 6 °C and 8 °C under the SSP5–8.5 scenario during the projected periods. Precipitation will decrease in the northern part of the region, while the southwestern part will experience an increase. In the highly suitable beekeeping area, a temperature increases up to 10.8 °C is expected, with frequent variations around 3 °C to 8 °C, affecting more than 500 km<sup>2</sup>. Additionally, a reduction in precipitation up to 311 mm/year is projected, with predominant variations ranging from −49.5 to −32.8 mm/year over approximately 600 km<sup>2</sup>.Therefore, it is suggested to implement strategies to mitigate these upcoming challenges, particularly if the modeled economic development under the SSPs continues.

The model was applied to intensively and extensively managed grasslands using field-collected hyperspectral data. Results show that while RTM inversion effectively predicts traits such as leaf area index (LAI) and pigment concentrations in homogeneous, intensively managed systems, its accuracy diminishes in diverse, extensively managed grasslands, particularly for traits like leaf mass per area (LMA) and pigment content. These limitations stem from the model’s assumption of homogeneous canopy scattering, which fails to account for the heterogeneity in mixed green and brown vegetation, especially at senescence.

Chongqing, a typical mountainous metropolis, was selected to investigate these impacts over the past two decades. By integrating the slope spectrum (SS), climbing index (CI) of built-up land, and ecosystem health index (EHI), we explored how urban expansion has affected the EHI. Additionally, we developed a method for identifying the expansion advantage slope range (EASR), which can track dynamic slope-climbing urban expansion. Our findings revealed that the built-up land expansion in Chongqing was primarily concentrated in the central areas of the western region. From 2000 to 2010, this expansion occurred primarily in urban built-up areas and shifted to other built-up areas between 2010 and 2020. Although the Climbing Index was −0.11, the EASR results indicated an increasingly significant slope-climbing trend, with slopes of built-up land increasing from [1.17, 8.25] to [1.42, 8.48]. Notably, when expansion occurs on slopes exceeding 12°, the decline in the EHI becomes significantly more pronounced, with the impact coefficient rising from 0.201 to 0.447.

One of the major drivers of forest change in Europe is the bark beetle, which causes large-scale annual changes in spruce forest areas. Mountain forests are particularly vulnerable as changes occur rapidly and require long-term monitoring of ongoing ecological changes. For this purpose, a 10-year time series of Sentinel-2 optical satellite data fused with Sentinel-1 radar and topographic derivatives was applied to the natural forests of the Tatra Mountains in Central Europe. Based on machine learning algorithms and iterative methods, overall classification accuracies of 0.94–0.96 and snags with an F1-score of 0.81–0.98 were achieved. The highest spruce mortality rate was observed in 2018, with extensive snag areas persisting until 2024. This study revealed that smaller infestation patches (&lt; 0.1 ha) consistently dominated the landscape, peaking in 2018, whereas larger patches (&gt; 0.5 ha) showed a declining trend, particularly after 2020. The variable importance analysis revealed that topographic factors are critical for predicting forest disturbance patterns. Elevation emerged as the most significant predictor with a Mean Decrease in Accuracy ranging from 95 to 150, followed by slope and aspect. Snag occurrence was strongly influenced by elevation, ranging from 700 to 1700 m a.s.l., with the median elevation increasing from 1150 m in 2015 to 1400 m in 2024. The slope also played an important role, with the median slopes for snag occurrences ranging from 15° to 25°, indicating a tendency for mortality on moderate inclines, although mortality on steeper slopes (up to 50°) was occasionally observed, particularly in 2017 and 2023. Regarding the slope orientation, the southeastern and eastern aspects consistently experienced higher proportions of spruce mortality (particularly between 2017 and 2021). A strong correlation between spruce mortality and temperature-related variables was identified, particularly degree days above 5 °C and 8.3 °C during key months (April, June, and July). Median yearly air temperature showed a correlation, whereas precipitation-related variables, including the Standardised Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), exhibited negative correlations, particularly the SPEI 01 median.

This study evaluates the performance of three camera trap models, including the Solar Powered 4K-trail, HC-801A-Pro and HC-801A, by analysing their resolution limits and lens distortion correction capabilities. To determine the resolution limits, A4-sized templates with red circles of varying diameters were placed within the cameras’ field of view at various distances, with measurements taken using a measuring tape and verified with GPS. Using the <span>cv2.TM_CCOEFF_NORMED</span> template matching algorithm with templates scaled from 0.01 to 2.0 and a confidence threshold of 0.6, the resolution threshold was defined as the distance at which the observed circle size deviated from the expected size. Among the models, the Solar Powered 4K Trail camera had the highest resolution threshold at 17.29 m, while the HC 801A had the lowest at 15.3 m. Lens distortion coefficients were derived by analysing checkerboard pattern images taken at different distances and angles. All three camera models exhibited lens distortion. The Solar Powered 4K-trail and HC-801A-Pro exhibited barrel distortion, while the HC-801A exhibited pincushion distortion. The calculated coefficients successfully corrected these distortions, improving image accuracy. The derived coefficients effectively corrected these distortions, improving image accuracy. This practical and reproducible calibration method, which does not require expensive optical equipment, offers significant improvements in camera trap optimisation, enabling conservationists and researchers to obtain more reliable ecological data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":"86 ","pages":"Article 103064"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143436485","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}
