DOI: 10.1007/s11676-021-01375-z
Abstract: Using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) paired with image semantic segmentation to classify land cover within natural vegetation can promote the development of forest and grassland field. Semantic segmentation normally excels in medical and building… read more here.

Ignoring functional and phylogenetic features masks the edge influence on ground beetle diversity across forest-grassland gradient

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2016.10.056
Abstract: Abstract There is an increased species richness and species diversity at the edges of forest-grassland mosaics. Taxonomic diversity, however, provides little information on the function or evolutionary history of species, although such is critical in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-39296-x
Abstract: Ecosystems may be characterized by a complex dynamical behaviour where external disturbances and/or internal perturbations may trigger sudden/irreversible changes, called catastrophic shifts. Simple mathematical models in the form of ordinary and/or partial differential equations have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1057/s41599-018-0157-x
Abstract: The Nilgiri Hills in the Western Ghats of India constitute a region of high biological and cultural diversity, and include an endangered shola forest-grassland mosaic ecosystem. A mosaic ecosystem is one consisting of adjacent, coexisting… read more here.

Differential seedling regeneration patterns across forest–grassland ecotones in two tropical treeline species (Polylepis spp.)

DOI: 10.1111/aec.12588
Abstract: Successful forest expansion into grassland can be limited by seed dispersal and adverse conditions for tree seedlings in the grassland environment. In the high‐elevation Andes, human‐induced fragmentation has exacerbated the patchy distribution of Polylepis forests,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15288
Abstract: In mosaic ecosystems, multiple land types coexist as alternative stable states exhibiting distinct spatial patterns. Forest-grassland mosaics are ecologically valuable, due to their high species richness. However, anthropogenic disturbances threaten these ecosystems. Designating protected areas… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0199387
Abstract: Poaching of forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) for ivory has decimated their populations in Central Africa. Studying elephant movement can provide insight into habitat and resource use to reveal where, when, and why they move and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1036905
Abstract: Soil fungal community has been largely explored by comparing their natural diversity. However, there is a relatively small body of literature concerned with fungal community assembly processes and their co-occurrence network correlations carried out across… read more here.
