Detection of spatial and temporal patterns of liana infestation using satellite-derived imagery (2021)
Journal Article
Chandler, C. J., van der Heijden, G. M., Boyd, D. S., & Foody, G. M. (2021). Detection of spatial and temporal patterns of liana infestation using satellite-derived imagery. Remote Sensing, 13(14), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs13142774

Lianas (woody vines) play a key role in tropical forest dynamics because of their strong influence on tree growth, mortality and regeneration. Assessing liana infestation over large areas is critical to understand the factors that drive their spatial...

‘Sacred groves’- an insight into Dalmatian forest history (2021)
Journal Article
Tekic, I., & Watkins, C. (2021). ‘Sacred groves’- an insight into Dalmatian forest history. Sumarski List, 145(7-8), 337-346. https://doi.org/10.31298/sl.145.7-8.3

The French administration in Dalmatia (1805-1813) was short but is often praised by foresters as advanced in terms of woodland management because of their establishment of so-called sacred groves or sacri boschi. Based on archival sources and 19th ce... Read More about ‘Sacred groves’- an insight into Dalmatian forest history.

Journal Article

Many glaciated valleys in Scotland contain distinctive, closely spaced ridges and mounds, which have been termed ‘hummocky moraine’. The ridges and mounds are widely interpreted as ice-marginal moraines, constructed during active retreat of mainly te...

Postwar property reforms in transitional Cambodia plunged the country into new conflict: a war of land. Under the guise of 'beautification', 11% of the capital's residents have been displaced in under two decades in a wave of violent gentrification,...

Geoscientific Model Development, 14(6), 3843-3878. https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-14-3843-2021

Global water models (GWMs) simulate the terrestrial water cycle on the global scale and are used to assess the impacts of climate change on freshwater systems. GWMs are developed within different modelling frameworks and consider different underlying...

The Importance of Including Water Temperature Simulations in a 2D Fish Habitat Model for the St. Lawrence River (2021)
Journal Article
Ouellet, V., St-Hilaire, A., Secretan, Y., Mingelbier, M., Morin, J., & Dugdale, S. (2021). The Importance of Including Water Temperature Simulations in a 2D Fish Habitat Model for the St. Lawrence River. Water, 13(13), Article 1736. https://doi.org/10.3390/w13131736

Extreme climatic conditions likely caused a massive fish mortality during the summer of 2001 in the St. Lawrence River. To corroborate this hypothesis, we used a physical habitat simulation approach incorporating hydraulic and water temperature model...

Recent years have seen an increase in actions to address a key feature of food in the Anthropocene: the over-production and consumption of animal-based foods or “animalisation” of diets. However, it is unclear whether such efforts can be understood a...

Lianas Significantly Reduce Aboveground and Belowground Carbon Storage: A Virtual Removal Experiment. Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 4, Article 663291. https://doi.org/10.3389/ffgc.2021.663291

Lianas are structural parasites of trees that cause a reduction in tree growth and an increase in tree mortality. Thereby, lianas negatively impact forest carbon storage as evidenced by liana removal experiments. In this proof-of-concept study, we ca...
