Due to current global population growth, resource shortages, and climate change, traditional agricultural models face major challenges. Precision agriculture (PA), as a way realize the accurate management decision support of production processes using modern information technology, is becoming an effective method solving these In particular, combination remote sensing technology machine learning algorithms brings new possibilities for PA. However, there are relatively few comprehensive systematic reviews on integrated application two technologies. For this reason, study conducts literature search Web Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed databases analyzes in PA over last 10 years.

Spatial, spectral and temporal insights: harnessing high-resolution satellite remote sensing and artificial intelligence for early monitoring of wood boring pests in forests

Plant Stress, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11, P. 100381 - 100381

Published: Feb. 2, 2024

Globally, biotic factors like insect pests and diseases as well abiotic fire, windstorms, droughts influence the global forest ecosystem. Wood-boring (WBPs) pose a considerable threat to ecosystems worldwide owing their capacity of remaining unnoticed during early stages, resulting in vast pervasive infestations later eventually significant tree death. Therefore, it is crucial promptly effectively treat early-stage WBPs by timely detection. The prompt detection requires use advanced effective methods, such remote sensing. This paper provides an overview many uses several sensing devices, platforms, algorithms context monitoring infestations. Modern lightweight sensors light ranging (LiDAR), hyperspectral imagers, thermal cameras, radio (Radar) combined with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) versatile capabilities offer comprehensive method for gathering data. purpose this study examine current capabilities, limits, potential future advancements accurately identifying WBPs.

Generalist Pests Cause High Tree Infestation, but Specialist Pests Cause High Mortality

Forests, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16(1), P. 127 - 127

Published: Jan. 11, 2025

Whether specialist pests can cause more damage to their host plants than generalist is a critical issue in both basic biology and nonnative species management. To date, there no consensus on how we define “specialist vs. generalist” should assess forest or impacts (volume loss mortality). Here, comparatively investigate whether may US forests using two frameworks: (1) the “binary dichotomous approach” through largely arbitrary classification of pests, (2) “specialist-generalist continuum”. We measure impact ways, one by total volume infested other mortality. In binary comparison, generalists tree per pest specialists, but latter (mostly pathogens) caused higher mortality trees. The continuum” concept could reveal different pattern regarding invasions when clear separation between specialists community region. Therefore, suggest “continuum” approach address related questions future studies, thus offering new insights into that have deeper implications for monitoring

Effects of Forestry Transformation on the Species Level of Biodiversity in Poland’s Forests

Forests, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16(1), P. 151 - 151

Published: Jan. 15, 2025

Forest biodiversity is of particular importance for the world’s natural resources and humans, so it essential to observe impact forest management on its state. In this paper, effects Poland’s forestry evolution after 1945 at species level are interpreted based four indicators (deadwood, composition stands, introduced tree species, common bird species) considering two politically economically different eras. era socialism (1945–1989), area share broadleaved increased intensively, with a steady predominance single-species ongoing removal deadwood, relatively slow increase in occupied by alien species. democracy (ongoing since 1990), there was less intensive proportion an stock multi-species stands over that as well value Bird Index. However, especially invasive ones, which negatively native wildlife, also noticeable democracy. The dilemmas problems related amount deadwood forests; continued conversion towards more complex ones; presence other species; consequences climate change; reduction migration barriers animals; provision funding conservation activities need be discussed resolved or implemented further.

Mapping the research landscape on forest insects: bibliometric approach from 2010 to 2024

Published: April 8, 2025

Abstract This study presents a bibliometric analysis of forest insect research from 2010 to 2024, utilizing dataset 12,822 publications extracted 2319 journals. The annual growth rate was 4.43%, with an average citation impact 19.39 per article. highest output recorded in 2021 (1144 articles), followed by slight decline subsequent years. Key contributing authors included Jactel H (78 publications, 14.56 fractionalized score), JR (75, 12.70), and Liebhold AM (58, 13.59). Institutional revealed that the USDA Forest Service (385 publications), Beijing Forestry University (351), Swedish Agricultural Sciences (341) were leading institutions. Keyword co-occurrence identified Climate change as most frequently occurring term, indicating its central role entomology research. Network strong collaborative linkages, Raffa KF emerging key influencers. Geographic distribution indicated China, United States, Germany, Brazil significant contributors, States serving primary hub for international collaborations. Thematic evolution showed transition ecological taxonomic studies (2010–2015) integration advanced methodologies, including remote sensing machine learning pest management (2021–2024).

Restoration of Ecosystem Services of Endangered Wetlands in Post Oil and Gas Exploration Era in the Niger Delta, Nigeria

Published: Oct. 16, 2024

Wetlands worldwide are known to be vulnerable anthropogenic activities because of their sensitivity pollutants. They also regarded as one the most productive ecosystems globally richness in biodiversity. In Niger Delta, sedimentary formation land makes it rich crude oil, which has made Nigeria highest producer oil Africa. Thus, 50 years and gas exploration have devastated wetland reduced its ability produce ecosystem services. Many wetlands Delta been restored, leaving many more at risk a total wipeout. This chapter, therefore, highlights ways this region can sustainably managed for significant benefit present future generations. A primary recommendation is enforce strict rules regulations prevent further damage. There should monitoring groups that will help watch over wetland. For proper management wetlands, entire area mapped, coordinates taken study flow dynamics spill often carried by tidal currents into mangroves.

A Good Assurance of Food Security Requires a Good Understanding of the Plant-Soil-Water-Living Being and Climate Change Interaction

Practice, progress, and proficiency in sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 355 - 380

Published: Dec. 18, 2023

The impacts of climate change on agriculture can have repercussions global food security. Losses in agricultural yield lead to shortages and increases prices, particularly affecting the most vulnerable populations. Climate result insecurity due water resource scarcity, while soil degradation may worsen production problems. A quality harvest depends optimal climatic conditions. However, change, characterized by infrequent or irregular precipitation high temperatures, leads a decrease one hand. On other hand, these changes an additional negative impact deteriorating soils reducing resources through evaporation, reaching limits. Within this chapter, authors explore different interactions between plants, soil, water, change. objective is design strategies specifically tailored changing context, thus enabling development sector that both resilient sustainable.
