Soil erodibility in European mountain beech forests
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021)Forests in Europe are currently not endangered by soil erosion. However, this can change with climate change or with intensified forest management practices. Using a newly established network of plots in beech forests ... -
Local characteristics of the standing genetic diversity of European beech with high within-region differentiation at the eastern part of the range
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021)Developing "climate smart forestry" (CSF) indicators in mountain forest regions requires collection and evaluation of local data and their attributes. Genetic resources are listed among the core indicators for forest ... -
Modulus of rupture prediction in Pinus sylvestris with multivariate models constructed with resonance, ultrasound, and wood heterogeneity variables
(North Carolina State University, 2021-12-17)Multivariate models with multiple linear regression (MLR), artificial neural network (ANN), and k-nearest neighbors (KNN) were developed to predict the modulus of rupture of Pinus sylvestris structural timber. The aim of ... -
Dynamic modulus of elasticity in flexural vibration tests of Pinus sylvestris sawn timber obtained with fundamental resonant frequency and overtones
(De Gruyter, 2022-02-28)The use of resonant frequency is presently one of the most used non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to predict the mechanical properties of sawn timber. In most cases, only the first vibration mode is used to estimate ... -
Evaluation of a boxwood topiary trimming robot
(Elsevier, 2022)This paper describes a new robot specifically developed for topiary trimming and evaluatesits performance through a novel evaluation method. Experiments were carried out in a realgarden letting the robot trim spherical-, ... -

Simultaneous treatment with oil heat and densification on physical properties of Populus × Canadensis wood
(Universidad del Bío-Bío, 2022)Samples of wood from Populus × canadensis (9,5 % moisture) were treated with olive oil at 195 °C simultaneously with 15 % or 30 % compression densification, and the results were compared with samples subjected to oil heat ... -
Delineation of management zones in hedgerow almond orchards based on vegetation indices from UAV images validated by LiDAR-derived canopy parameters
(MDPI, 2022)One of the challenges in orchard management, in particular of hedgerow tree plantations, is the delineation of management zones on the bases of high-precision data. Along this line, the present study analyses the applicability ... -
Fostering carbon credits to finance wildfire risk reduction forest management in Mediterranean landscapes
(MPDI, 2021)Despite the need for preserving the carbon pools in fire-prone southern European landscapes, emission reductions from wildfire risk mitigation are still poorly understood. In this study, we estimated expected carbon emissions ... -
Stand structure and local landscape variables are the dominant factors explaining shrub and tree diversity in Mediterranean forests
(MDPI, 2021)Plant diversity is a core value of forests and is rapidly becoming a primary management goal under the threat of global environmental changes. Changing conditions, including forestry interventions, or lack of them, may ... -
Spatio-temporal domains of wildfire-prone teleconnection patterns in the western mediterranean basin
(Wiley, 2021-09)This work explores the main climate teleconnections influencing the Western Mediterranean Basin to outline homogeneous fire-prone weather domains combining cross-correlation time series and cluster analysis. We found a ... -
Integrating geospatial wildfire models to delineate landscape management zones and inform decision-making in Mediterranean areas
(Elsevier, 2022-03)Despite the abundant firefighting resources deployed to reinforce the fire exclusion policy, extreme events continue to cause substantial losses in Mediterranean regions. These catastrophic wildfires question the merely-reactive ... -
Forest expansion in mountain protected areas: trends and consequences for the landscape
(Elsevier, 2021)Mountain regions in Western Europe have gone through a massive rural–urban migration and the collapse of their traditional socioeconomic system. As a result, forest has occupied many old pastures and croplands. In protected ... -
Pesticide dose adjustment in fruit and grapevine orchards by DOSA3D: Fundamentals of the system and on-farm validation
(Elsevier, 2022)Agricultural productivity cannot be sustained without the application of plant protection measures. Within the framework of integrated pest management (IPM), the use of chemical pesticides should be limited to the last ... -
PFuji-Size dataset: A collection of images and photogrammetry-derived 3D point clouds with ground truth annotations for Fuji apple detection and size estimation in field conditions
(Elsevier, 2021-11-24)The PFuji-Size dataset is comprised of a collection of 3D point clouds of Fuji apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Fuji) scanned at different maturity stages and annotated for fruit detection and size estimation. ... -
3D Spectral Graph Wavelet Point Signatures in Pre-Processing Stage for Mobile Laser Scanning Point Cloud Registration in Unstructured Orchard Environments
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021-11-18)The use of three-dimensional registration techniques is an important component for sensor-based localization and mapping. Several approaches have been proposed to align three-dimensional data, obtaining meaningful results ... -
A Cheap electronic sensor automated trap for monitoring the flight activity period of moths
(Institute of Entomology, 2021-10-11)Automated pheromone dispensers disrupt the mating behaviour of pest moths by releasing pheromone during their daily activity period, which is not the same for all target species. These periods usually occur in or close to ... -
3D characterization of a Boston Ivy double-skin green building facade using a LiDAR system
(Elsevier, 2021-09-02)On the way to more sustainable and resilient urban environments, the incorporation of urban green infrastructure (UGI) systems, such as green roofs and vertical greening systems, must be encouraged. Unfortunately, given ... -
A photogrammetry-based methodology to obtain accurate digital ground-truth of leafless fruit trees
(Elsevier, 2021-11-05)In recent decades, a considerable number of sensors have been developed to obtain 3D point clouds that have great potential in optimizing management in agriculture through the application of precision agriculture techniques. ... -
