The ECOSENSE forest: a distributed sensor and data management system for real-time monitoring of ecosystem processes and stresses

Abstract. Forests provide crucial ecosystem services, but are vulnerable to climate-related physical and biological stresses, such as droughts, pests and pathogens. The rapid climate change currently observed increases the pressure on forest ecosystems, with already drastic conse...

AngleCam V2: Predicting leaf inclination angles across taxa from daytime and nighttime photos

Abstract Understanding how plants capture light and maintain their energy balance is crucial for predicting how ecosystems respond to environmental changes. By monitoring leaf inclination angle distributions (LIADs), we can gain insights into plant behaviour that directly influen...
