Regional uniqueness of tree species composition and response to forest loss and climate change
Devis Tuia, Nina Marion Aurélia Van Tiel, Loïc Pellissier
The conservation and restoration of forest ecosystems require detailed knowledge of the native plant compositions. Here, we map global forest tree composition and assess the impacts of historical forest cover loss and climate change on trees. The global oc ...
Nature Portfolio2024Semi-Supervised Deep Learning Representations in Earth Observation Based Forest Management
Devis Tuia, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Lloyd Haydn Hughes, Oleg Antropov, Sudipan Saha
In this study, we examine the potential of several self-supervised deep learning models in predicting forest attributes and detecting forest changes using ESA Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images. The performance of the proposed deep learning models is compare ...
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc2023Spatially adaptive machine learning models for predicting water quality in Hong Kong
Rongrong Li, Qiaoli Wang, Yu Xu
Water quality prediction in the spatially heterogeneous environment is challenging as the importance of water quality parameters (WQPs) and the performance of prediction models may vary across space. Thus, this study proposed spatially adaptive machine lea ...
ELSEVIER2023Combined use of airborne laser scanning and hyperspectral imaging for forest inventories
The thesis presented hereby proposes as a general objective the estimation of forest inventory parameters (e.g. trunk location, height, basal area, crown area, species, etc..) from the combination of Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) and Hyperspectal Imaging ( ...
EPFL2019Land cover classification of the semi-arid Namibian savanna
The vegetation of semi-arid savanna landscapes relies on the fragile equilibrium between rainfall, grazing and fires . For a sustainable management of their farms, farmers need to take into account this delicate equilibrium and correctly balance the amount ...
2018Land cover classification of the semi-arid Namibian savanna
The vegetation of semi-arid savanna landscapes relies on the fragile equilibrium between rainfall, grazing and res [Trodd and Dougill, 1998]. For a sustainable management of their farms, farmers need to take into account this delicate equilibrium and corre ...
2018First quantitative survey delineates the distribution of chimpanzees in the Eastern Central African Republic
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat
Vast, pristine ecosystems and their biodiversity are vanishing globally at frightening speed, but many large tracts of wilderness have not yet been systematically inventoried and important natural populations of threatened species remain poorly characteriz ...
Elsevier2017The search for old-growth forests in Switzerland
Old-growth forests and stands have multiple values, such as biological, scientific, socioeconomic, aesthetic, spiritual and cultural ones, but they are very rare in central Europe. Currently, an overview about the existence and size of old-growth forest pa ...
2015Biodiversity Mapping in a Tropical West African Forest with Airborne Hyperspectral Data
Francesco Giuseppe Miglietta, Qi Chen
Tropical forests are major repositories of biodiversity, but are fast disappearing as land is converted to agriculture. Decision-makers need to know which of the remaining forests to prioritize for conservation, but the only spatial information on forest b ...

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Thomas Spiegelberger, Joël Chételat, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer, Michaël Kalbermatten, Kathryn Lannas
This study examines the effects of land-use policies and natural events on the evolution of two wooded pastures in the Jura Mountains in Switzerland between 1934 and 2000. The socioeconomic context and the local conditions were seen as major driving forces ...
