1. Urbanisation is one of the main land‐use changes behind global insect collapse. Despite that previous studies have described negative effects urbanisation on communities, so far there no synthesis considers multiple urban drivers, their combined effects, and role species traits altogether. 2. Here we developed an integrative framework underlying mechanisms terrestrial loss in cities by exploring five leading drivers: impervious surfaces, habitat fragmentation, heat island, pollution, exotic plants. For each driver, identified direct indirect (mediated through interactions or resources) populations emphasising as moderators such effects. 3. Body size, mobility, oviposition/nesting requirements were frequently defined vulnerability to drivers. Urban island pollution deserve further research from a community‐level approach. Direct drivers dominated literature, while most paths mediated resources rather than interactions. 4. In conclusion, our review showed challenges recognising particular for driver By doing so, intended encourage researchers address some gaps noticed order fully understand how affecting communities. Finally, outlined recent planning strategies future successfully conserve biodiversity.

This paper reviewed a set of twenty-one original and innovative papers included in special issue on UAVs for vegetation monitoring, which proposed new methods techniques applied to diverse agricultural forestry scenarios. Three general categories were considered: (1) sensors indices used, (2) technological goals pursued, (3) agroforestry applications. Some investigations focused issues related UAV flight operations, spatial resolution requirements, computation data analytics, while others studied the ability characterizing relevant features (mainly canopy cover crop height) or detecting different plant/crop stressors, such as nutrient content/deficiencies, water needs, weeds, diseases. The goal was proposing UAV-based solutions better use resources more efficient production with economic environmental benefits.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based hyperspectral remote sensing is an important monitoring technology for the soil moisture content (SMC) of agroecological systems in arid regions. This develops precision farming and agricultural informatization. However, data are generally used mining. In this study, UAV-based imaging with a resolution o 4 cm totaling 70 samples (0–10 cm) were collected from farmland (2.5 × 104 m2) near Fukang City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. Four estimation strategies tested: original image (strategy I), first- second-order derivative methods II), fractional-order (FOD) technique III), optimal fractional order combined multiband indices IV). These based on eXtreme Gradient Boost (XGBoost) algorithm, aim building best model SMC The results demonstrated that FOD could effectively mine information (with absolute maximum correlation coefficient 0.768). By comparison, strategy IV yielded estimates out tested (R2val = 0.921, RMSEP 1.943, RPD 2.736) SMC. derived 0.4 within worked relatively well among different I, II, III). conclusion, combination generated highly accurate XGBoost algorithm estimation. research provided promising mining approach data.

Grasslands are one of the world’s largest ecosystems, accounting for 30% total terrestrial biomass. Considering that aboveground biomass (AGB) is most essential ecosystem services in grasslands, an accurate and faster method estimating AGB critical managing, protecting, promoting sustainability. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as a useful practical tool achieving this goal. Here, we review recent research studies employ UAVs to estimate grassland ecosystems. We summarize different methods establish comprehensive workflow, from data collection field processing. For purpose, 64 articles were reviewed, focusing on several features including study site, species composition, UAV platforms, flight parameters, sensors, measurement, indices, processing, analysis methods. The results demonstrate there has been increase scientific evaluating use estimation grasslands during period 2018–2022.

Abstract Animal movement studies are conducted to monitor ecosystem health, understand ecological dynamics, and address management conservation questions. In marine environments, traditional sampling monitoring methods measure animal invasive, labor intensive, costly, limited in the number of individuals that can be feasibly tracked. Automated detection tracking small‐scale movements many animals through cameras possible but largely untested field conditions, hampering applications Here, we aimed test ability an automated object pipeline track videos. We applied fish characterize behavior. a common fisheries species (yellowfin bream, Acanthopagrus australis) along known passageway from underwater then tracked with three types algorithms (MOSSE, Seq‐NMS, SiamMask) evaluated their accuracy at characterizing movement. successfully detected yellowfin bream multispecies assemblage (F1 score =91%). At least 120 169 individual present videos were correctly identified The accuracies among architectures varied, MOSSE SiamMask achieving 78% Seq‐NMS 84%. By employing this integrated pipeline, demonstrated noninvasive reliable approach studying behavior by under conditions. These cost‐effective technologies provide means for future scale‐up analysis across visual systems.
