Marine‐derived nutrients shape the functional composition of High Arctic plant communities Open
Low temperatures and nutrient limitation have shaped Arctic plant communities, which are now affected by biome‐wise changes in both climate and nutrient cycling. Rising temperatures are favouring taller plant species with more resource‐acq…

Simulation-based inference advances water quality mapping in shallow coral reef environments Open
Human activities are altering coral reef ecosystems worldwide. Optical remote sensing via satellites and drones can offer novel insights into where and how coral reefs are changing. However, interpretation of the observed optical signal (r…

Canopy functional trait variation across Earth’s tropical forests Open
Tropical forest canopies are the biosphere’s most concentrated atmospheric interface for carbon, water and energy 1,2 . However, in most Earth System Models, the diverse and heterogeneous tropical forest biome is represented as a largely u…

Optical remote spectral acquisition of elemental stoichiometry Open
Optical remote sensing (RS) enables the study of the elemental composition of Earth’s surface over broad spatial extents by detecting reflected electromagnetic radiation. Covalent bonds of macromolecular structures often reflect electromag…

Disentangling heritability and plasticity effects on <i>Populus fremontii</i> leaf reflectance across a temperature gradient Open
Globally, vegetation biodiversity is expected to decline as the rate of plant adaptation struggles to keep pace with rising temperatures. To support conservation efforts through remote sensing, we disentangled the nested effects of genetic…

Why models underestimate West African tropical forest productivity Open
Tropical forests dominate terrestrial photosynthesis, yet there are major contradictions in our understanding due to a lack of field studies, especially outside the tropical Americas. A recent field study indicated that West African forest…

Determination of optimal flight altitude to minimise acoustic drone disturbance to wildlife using species audiograms Open
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly important in wildlife data collection but concern over wildlife disturbance has led several countries to ban their use in National Parks. Disturbance is an animal welfare concern and impedes…

Author response for "Determination of optimal flight altitude to minimise acoustic drone disturbance to wildlife using species audiograms" Open
Amongst the myriad of new Unarmed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications, aerial monitoring of wildlife is one of the most disruptive given the ability of noninvasively track animals.However, species such as elephants have been observed to exhi…

Multiscale mapping of plant functional groups and plant traits in the High Arctic using field spectroscopy, UAV imagery and Sentinel-2A data Open
The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, leading to rapid changes in species composition and plant functional trait variation. Landscape-level maps of vegetation composition and trait distributions are required to exp…

Predicting tropical tree mortality with leaf spectroscopy Open
Do tropical trees close to death have a distinct change to their leaf spectral signature? Tree mortality rates have been increasing in tropical forests, reducing the global carbon sink. Upcoming hyperspectral satellites could be used to pr…

Mapping the Leaf Economic Spectrum across West African Tropical Forests Using UAV-Acquired Hyperspectral Imagery Open
The leaf economic spectrum (LES) describes a set of universal trade-offs between leaf mass per area (LMA), leaf nitrogen (N), leaf phosphorus (P) and leaf photosynthesis that influence patterns of primary productivity and nutrient cycling.…

Le statut de la naïade grêle (Najas gracillima, Najadaceae) au Québec Open
La présence de la naïade grêle, Najas gracillima (Najadaceae), dans la flore aquatique indigène du Québec est confirmée. Cette espèce sensible à la pollution est en déclin dans toute son aire naturelle nord-américaine en raison de l’eutrop…
