Forests and forest management practices can affect surface water acidification in a number of ways. The primary mechanism is the ability of tree canopies to capture more sulphur and nitrogen pollutants from the atmosphere than other types of vegetation. Pollutant scavenging is expected to have peaked in the 1970s when emissions were greatest and led to surface waters draining catchments dominat...

This paper presents a service robot architecture based on the principles of a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), whose modularity design maximizes the benefits of multidisciplinary contributions from researchers of different areas. The diagram of the proposed architecture is presented and discussed in terms of its development strategy, oriented towards the creation of societal and economical ...

This study used time series remote sensing data from 1973, 1990 and 2004 to assess spatial forest cover change patterns in the Kalakad-Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve (KMTR), South Western Ghats (India). Analysis of forest cover changes and its causes are the most challenging areas of landscape ecology, especially due to the absence of temporal ground data and comparable space platform based data. C...

Traditional clear-fell forestry greatly alters community structure and ecosystem function within boreal forests alternative management practices may reduce these impacts. Continuous-cover can maintain similar invertebrate plant communities to unmanaged forest, but whether this extends soil fungal remains unclear. Within four sites across the mid-boreal zone of Sweden, we conducted a comprehensi...
