Human influence on the distribution of cacao: insights from remote sensing and biogeography.
Cacao ( , Malvaceae) is an important tree crop in Africa and in the Americas. Current genomic evidence suggests that its original range in Tropical Americas was smaller than its current distribution and that human-mediated dispersal occurred before European colonization. This includes regions like Mesoamerica and Eastern Amazonia where cacao... -

Forest resilience research using remote sensing and GIS – A systematic literature review.
Forest resilience assessment is increasingly important given the current global environmental change. However, attributes and indicators to quantify forest resilience still need to be explored. Remote sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques are widely applied for forest resilience modeling. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to obtain insights concerning... -

Seeing roots from space: aboveground fingerprints of root depth in vegetation sensitivity to climate in dry biomes.
With predicted climate change, drylands are set to get warmer and drier, increasing water stress for the vegetation in these regions. Plant sensitivity to drier periods and drought events will largely depend on trait strategies to access and store water, often linked to the root system. However, understanding the role... -
