DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5519
Abstract: Habitat loss is a major cause of species loss and is expected to increase. Loss of habitat is often associated with fragmentation of remaining habitat. Whether species can persist in fragmented landscapes may depend on… read more here.

Estimation of Semiarid Forest Canopy Cover Using Optimal Field Sampling and Satellite Data with Machine Learning Algorithms
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing"
DOI: 10.1007/s12524-020-01102-x
Abstract: Forest canopy cover represents different characteristics of forest stands. However, especially in semiarid forest, the estimation of canopy cover by field measurements is too expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to develop appropriate techniques to estimate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apgeog.2017.07.009
Abstract: Riparian corridors have the potential to function as thermal refuges, moderating extremes of local temperature variation. However, although demonstrated at individual sites, and over short periods, the consistency of this effect at wider temporal and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2016.12.029
Abstract: Abstract Restoration to increase resilience to current and projected drought and fire in historically open-canopy forests in fire-prone environments may be constrained by concern for species that favor dense forest conditions. To assist the recovery… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.09.019
Abstract: Abstract Restoration of western dry forests in the USA often focuses on reducing fuel loads. In the range of the spotted owl, these treatments may reduce canopy cover and tree density, which could reduce preferred… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.isprsjprs.2017.04.018
Abstract: Abstract Canopy cover (CC) is a variable used to describe the status of forests and forested habitats, but also the variable used primarily to define what counts as a forest. The estimation of CC has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2020.103892
Abstract: Abstract Urban green spaces (UGS) often support diverse bird assemblages. Current evidence suggests large UGS that are circular in shape and contain abundant tree canopy cover will support more bird species independent of UGS isolation.… read more here.
