IT RAINED! #w00t

Ist die potenziell natürliche Vegetation als Vorgabe für die Wiederbewaldung von Schadflächen noch zeitgemäß? Das ist ein Widerspruch zwischen amtlichem Waldschutz und aktuell wissenschaftl. basierte Waldbewirtschaftung, der mir bei den Recherchen zu einem Forschungsprojekt aufgefallen ist. Die PNV wurde 1957 vom deutschen Pflanzensoziologen Tüxen entwickelt. Sie soll den hypothetischen Zustand der Vegetation nach plötzlichem Aufhören des menschlichen Einflusses darstellen.

Edge-effects in the turbulent flow over flexible aquatic vegetation
Riparian vegetation along riverbanks and seagrass along coastlines interact with water currents, significantly altering their flow. To characterise the turbulent fluid motion along the streamwise-edge of a region covered by submerged vegetation (canopy), we perform direct numerical simulations of a half-channel partially obstructed by flexible stems, vertically clamped to the bottom wall. An intense streamwise vortex forms along the canopy edge, drawing high-momentum fluid into the side of the …

Industry managed forests more likely to fuel megafires, study finds
The odds of high-severity wildfire were nearly one-and-a-half times higher on industrial private land than on publicly owned forests, a new study found. Forests managed by timber companies were more likely to exhibit the conditions that megafires love—dense stands of regularly spaced trees with continuous vegetation connecting the understory to the canopy.

Planned for months, but only been away for a few days and new deep memories for a lifetime: Visiting, revisiting and documenting some personal bucket list places in Tyrol/Vinschgau, Sondrio (Valmalenco) and the Engadin, collecting references & research... Landscapes too large & overwhelming, mountain passes (and the human ingenuity to traverse them), vast valleys full of ancient history & struggles (with nature and each other), disappearing glaciers leaving behind incredible stru…

Weakly-Supervised Learning for Tree Instances Segmentation in Airborne Lidar Point Clouds
Tree instance segmentation of airborne laser scanning (ALS) data is of utmost importance for forest monitoring, but remains challenging due to variations in the data caused by factors such as sensor resolution, vegetation state at acquisition time, terrain characteristics, etc. Moreover, obtaining a sufficient amount of precisely labeled data to train fully supervised instance segmentation methods is expensive. To address these challenges, we propose a weakly supervised approach where labels of…

Impacts of the duration and intensity of grazing cycle on vegetation population dynamics in semi-arid ecosystems with seasonal succession
A novel vegetation model involving seasonal succession to distinguish the dryperiod, growth period and grazing period is proposed. The main aim is to explore the effects of duration and intensity of grazing season on the dynamic behaviors of a single vegetation population and the competitive outcomes between two competing vegetation species. The critical duration of drought period and grazing period that enable the persistence of a single vegetation population is obtained. Further, we found tha…
