Abstract. We present the first gridded and temporally continuous quantitative pollen-based plant-cover reconstruction for temperate northern subtropical China over Holocene (11.7 ka to present) obtained by applying Regional Estimates of VEgetation Abundance from Large Sites (REVEALS) model. The objective is provide a dataset land cover last ca. 12 millennia that suitable palaeoclimate modelling...

Litterfall, directly and indirectly, affects the soil physicochemical properties, microbial activity, diversity of fauna flora by adding organic matter nutrients to soil. This study explores litterfall dynamics such as production, litter decomposition rate, associated nutrient return in three forest types, that is, camphor tree (CTF), Masson pine (MPF), mixed (CMF), subtropical China. Results s...

The Late Miocene palaeofloras of the La Cerdanya Basin represent a unique look into Pyrenean forested areas Iberian Peninsula at time when European warm and humid climate was experiencing progressive cooling aridification. Macrofossils (leaves, seeds, fruits cones) miospores from several outcrops revealed composition abundances different plant species present in area during Tortonian early Mess...

Accurate individual tree segmentation (ITS) is fundamental to forest management and the studies of ecosystem. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Light Detection Ranging (UAV-LiDAR) shows advantages for ITS height estimation at stand landscape scale. However, dense deciduous forests with tightly interlocked crowns challenge performance ITS. Available LiDAR points through crown appropriate algorithm are exp...

Global forest cover is heavily fragmented. Due to high edge-to-surface ratios in small patches, a large proportion of forests affected by edge influences involving steep microclimatic gradients. Although edges are important ecotones and account for 20% the global forested area, it remains unclear how biotic abiotic drivers affect microclimates at continental scale. Here we report soil air tempe...
