THE NOVEL MICROWAVE TEMPERATURE VEGETATION DROUGHT INDEX (MTVDI) CAPTURES CANOPY SEASONALITY ACROSS AMAZONIAN TROPICAL EVERGREEN FORESTS

The Novel Microwave Temperature Vegetation Drought Index (MTVDI) Captures Canopy Seasonality across Amazonian Tropical Evergreen Forests

Despite its perennial canopy, the Amazonian tropical evergreen forest shows significant canopy growth seasonality, which has been represented by optical satellite-based observations.In this paper, a new Microwave Temperature–Vegetation Drought Index (MTVDI) based on Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) se

Comparing field performance of ultrasonic microphones to facilitate analysis of long‐term acoustic bat monitoring data

Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring is a standard technique for studying bat ecology and behavior.However, an issue that has received little attention is how to appropriately analyze data within a long‐term acoustic monitoring dataset when the equipment has been replaced and updated.Equipment changes are often inevitable, especially for micropho

Historical framework to explain long-term coupled human and natural system feedbacks: application to a multiple-ownership forest landscape in the northern Great Lakes region, USA

Current and future human and forest landscape conditions are influenced by the cumulative, unfolding history of social-ecological interactions.Examining past system responses, especially unintended consequences, can reveal valuable insights that promote learning and adaptation in forest policy and management.Temporal couplings are complex, however;
