Restoration interventions to combat land degradation are carried out in arid and semi-arid areas to improve vegetation cover and land productivity. Evaluating the success of an intervention over time is challenging due to various constraints (e.g. difficult-to-access areas, lack of long-term reco...

Pulse ecological events have major impacts on regional and global biogeochemical cycles, potentially inducing a vast set of cascading ecological effects. This study analyzes the widespread reproductive event of bamboo (Melocanna baccifera) that occurred in the Arakan Mountains (Southeast Asia) fr...

Remote sensing-based assessment of the 2005–2011 bamboo reproductive event in the Arakan mountain range and its relation with wildfires.
Sun-induced fluorescence (SIF) in the far-red region provides a new noninvasive measurement
approach that has the potential to quantify dynamic changes in light-use efficiency and
gross primary production (GPP). However, the mechanistic link between GPP and SIF is not
completely understood.
We an...

Urbanization and rapid population growth pose the cities in front of massive challenges in terms of environmental impacts. This paper explores recent progresses in mapping ecosystem services provided by urban green infrastructures (GI) and discuss how GI can contribute to promoting cohesion, resi...
