Bark beetle predisposition assessed via EO 🛰️ in the eastern Alps.

- NDWI was the most consistent predictor; downslope index and canopy structure (GEDI) added value.
- Models transferred well across South Tyrol, supporting regional risk mapping.

Five years after VAIA:

– Norway spruce dominates regeneration (67%), but only 26% of plots meet targets.
– Browsing affects 25% of seedlings, especially Rowan, Willow, and Silver fir.

Management should promote species diversity and control browsing.

Robot zoomorfi, droni, IA e mappe 3D per il monitoraggio delle foreste Un progetto di ricerca internazionale utilizza nuove tecnologie per monitorare con precisione le foreste e utilizzare i dati raccolti per combattere il cambiamento climatico.

#Robot zoomorfi, #droni, #intelligenzaartificiale e mappe #3D, tutto insieme per il #monitoraggio #sostenibile delle #foreste. Questi gli ingredienti di un complesso di progetti avveniristici in collaborazione con altri atenei europei. #AltoAdige Leggi di più: www.unibzmagazine.it/en/magazine/...

Gli alberi da frutto antichi raccontano la storia climatica dell’Alto Adige Studiando gli anelli di accrescimento di alberi quasi centenari i ricercatori di unibz hanno rilevato l’adattamento di meli e peri ai cambiamenti climatici in Alto Adige.

Uno studio effettuato dai ricercatori di #unibz mostra come l’analisi degli isotopi di #carbonio e #ossigeno apra un varco nel passato, permettendo di valutare come le piante da frutto abbiano risposto ai #cambiamenticlimatici. Leggi di più: www.unibzmagazine.it/en/magazine/... #altoadige

Improper data practices erode the quality of global ecological databases and impede the progress of ecological research The scientific community has entered an era of big data. However, with big data comes big responsibilities, and best practices for how data are contributed to databases have not kept pace with the collection, aggregation, and analysis of big data. Here, we rigorously assess the quantity of data for specific leaf area (SLA) available within the largest and most frequently used global plant trait database, the TRY Plant Trait Database, exploring how much of the data were applicable (i.e., original, representative, logical, and comparable) and traceable (i.e., published, cited, and consistent). Over three-quarters of the SLA data in TRY either lacked applicability or traceability, leaving only 22.9% of the original data usable compared with the 64.9% typically deemed usable by standard data cleaning protocols. The remaining usable data differed markedly from the original for many species, which led to altered interpretation of ecological analyses. Though the data we consider here make up only 4.5% of SLA data within TRY, similar issues of applicability and traceability likely apply to SLA data for other species as well as other commonly measured, uploaded, and downloaded plant traits. We end with suggested steps forward for global ecological databases, including suggestions for both uploaders to and curators of databases with the hope that, through addressing the issues raised here, we can increase data quality and integrity within the ecological community.
