Peatland restoration aims to achieve pristine water pathway conditions to recover dispersed wetness, water quality, biodiversity and carbon sequestration. Restoration monitoring needs new methods for understanding the spatial effects of restoration i...
Topographic wetness index (TWI) is used as a proxy for soil moisture, but how well it performs across varying timescales and methods of calculation is not well understood. To assess the effectiveness of TWI, we examined spatial correlations between i...
Fire and pathogen-induced tree mortality are the two dominant forms of disturbance in Western U.S. montane forests. We investigated the consequences of both disturbance types on the controls of microbial activity in soils from 56 plots across a topog...
The use of topographic airborne LiDAR data has become an essential part of archaeological prospection, particularly as a tool for detecting archaeological features in the landscape. However, its use for landscape reconstruction and understanding arch...
Hydrologic connectivity is related to the water-mediated transport of matter, energy, and organisms within or between elements of the hydrologic cycle. It reflects the hydrological consequences caused by topographic, land cover, and climatic factors,...
Banana (Musa sp.) is one of the world’s most planted and consumed crops. Analysis of plantations using a geospatial perspective is growing in Costa Rica, and it can be used to optimize environmental analysis. The aim of this study was to propos...
On 3 June 2018, a strong eruption of the Fuego volcano in Guatemala produced a dense cloud of 10-km-high volcanic ash and destructive pyroclastic flows that caused nearly 200 deaths and huge economic losses in the region. Subsequently, due to heavy r...
One of the best preconditions for the sufficient monitoring of peat bog ecosystems is the collection, processing, and analysis of unique spatial data to understand peat bog dynamics. Over two seasons, we sampled groundwater level (GWL) and soil moist...
Silvopasture systems combine tree and livestock production to minimize market risk and enhance ecological services. Our objective was to explore and develop a method for identifying driving factors linked to productivity in a silvopastoral system usi...
Wetland ecosystems are experiencing rapid degradation due to human activities, particularly the diversion of natural flows for various purposes, leading to significant alterations in wetland hydrology and their ecological functions. However, understa...
Monitoring groundwater pollution is an important issue in terms of analyzing threats to protected, environmentally valuable areas. The topographical and environmental characteristics of a given area are often mentioned among the factors affecting the...
