Semi-Supervised Deep Learning Representations in Earth Observation Based Forest Management

Devis Tuia, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Lloyd Haydn Hughes

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 ...

Riparian wetland properties counter the effect of land-use change on soil carbon stocks after rainforest conversion to plantations

Thomas Guillaume

Progressive conversion of tropical rainforests to agricultural monocultures in South East Asia increasingly affects landscape types such as riparian areas. The impacts of conversions on soil organic matter (SOM) vary with changing landforms. However, this ...

Carbon neutral expansion of oil palm plantations in the Neotropics

Alexandre Buttler, Thomas Guillaume, Juan Carlos Quezada Rivera

Alternatives to ecologically devastating deforestation land use change trajectories are needed to reduce the carbon footprint of oil palm (OP) plantations in the tropics. Although various land use change options have been proposed, so far, there are no emp ...

Radical Formation by Fine Particulate Matter Associated with Highly Oxygenated Molecules

Andrea Mario Arangio

Highly oxygenated molecules (HOMs) play an important role in the formation and evolution of secondary organic aerosols (SOA). However, the abundance of HOMs in different environments and their relation to the oxidative potential of fine particulate matter ...

Effects of flooding on phosphorus and iron mobilization in highly weathered soils under different land-use types: Short-term effects and mechanisms

Thomas Guillaume

The strong affinity of phosphorus (P) to iron (Fe) oxides and hydroxides in highly weathered tropical soils limits P availability and therefore plant productivity in tropics. In flooded soils, however, P fixed by Fe oxides and hydroxides can be released in ...

Sensitivity and resistance of soil fertility indicators to land-use changes: New concept and examples from conversion of Indonesian rainforest to plantations

Thomas Guillaume

Tropical forest conversion to agricultural land leads to a strong decrease of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. While the decrease of the soil C sequestration function is easy to measure, the impacts of SOC losses on soil fertility remain unclear. Especial ...

Dissecting UbuntuOne: Autopsy of a Global-scale Personal Cloud Back-end

Hamza Harkous

Personal Cloud services, such as Dropbox or Box, have been widely adopted by users. Unfortunately, very little is known about the internal operation and general characteristics of Personal Clouds since they are proprietary services. In this paper, we fo ...

WRF-Chem simulations in the Amazon region during wet and dry season transitions: evaluation of methane models and wetland inundation maps

Jed Oliver Kaplan

The Amazon region, being a large source of methane (CH4), contributes significantly to the global annual CH4 budget. For the first time, a forward and inverse modelling framework on regional scale for the purpose of assessing the CH4 budget of the Amazon r ...

Impacts of changes in land use and land cover on atmospheric chemistry and air quality over the 21st century

Songmei Wu, Jed Oliver Kaplan

The effects of future land use and land cover change on the chemical composition of the atmosphere and air quality are largely unknown. To investigate the potential effects associated with future changes in vegetation driven by atmospheric CO2 concentratio ...

Pre-Columbian deforestation as an amplifier of drought in Mesoamerica

Jed Oliver Kaplan

Droughts in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica caused significant societal disruptions during the Late Classic and Post-Classic Periods. While the primary causes of these droughts are still debated, it has been speculated that they may be linked to extensive defore ...

Coopetition In The Global Book Industry: The Case Of Amazon.Com’s Evolution

Alain Wegmann, Arash Golnam

Coopetition (collaboration between competing firms) is a phenomenon which has recently captured a great deal of attention due to its increasing relevance to business practice. The current research on coopetition is still short in explaining how the potenti ...

Multimodel ensemble simulations of tropospheric NO2 compared with GOME retrievals for the year 2000

Isabelle Bey, Jérôme Drevet

We present a systematic comparison of tropospheric NO2 from 17 global atmospheric chemistry models with three state-of-the-art retrievals from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) for the year 2000. The models used constant anthropogenic emissions ...
