From fear to food: predation risk shapes deer behaviour, their resources and forest vegetation by Martin, Jean-Louis, Chamaillé-Jammes, Simon, Salomon, Anne, Gomez Pourroy, Devana Veronica, Schlaeflin, Mathilde, Le Saout, Soizic, Lucas, Annick, Bentaleb, Ilham, Chollet, Simon, Pattison, Jake, Martin-Blangy, Soline, Gaston, Anthony James

“…The “ecology of fear” posits that predation risk shapes the behaviour of large herbivores, their foraging patterns, their habitat selection and their consequent effect on forest ecology. To test some of these predictions we used the extensive empirical and experimental data on vegetation cover and composition, and on deer anti-predator behaviour, collected at study sites with different histories of hunting and natural predation in the Haida Gwaii archipelago and in nearby areas of coastal British Columbia (Canada). …”

Estimation of Individual Tree Structure and Wood Density Parameters for <i>Ginkgo biloba</i> Using Terrestrial LiDAR and Resistance Drill Data by Ting Li, Xin Shen, Kai Zhou, Lin Cao

“…BLS has great potential in accurately obtaining forest structure information, improving forest information collection efficiency, promoting forest resource monitoring, forest carbon sink estimation, and forest ecological research. The feasibility of predicting the wood basic density based on wood resistance (R² = 0.51) and combined with DBH, tree height, and crown width (R² = 0.49) was relatively high. …”

An Analysis of Land Use Conflicts and Strategies in the Harbin–Changchun Urban Agglomeration Based on the Production–Ecological–Living Space Theory and Patch-Generating Land Use Si... by Xiaomeng Wang, Yanjun Zhang, Xiaoyan Li, Shuwen Cao

“…The results indicate the following: (1) From 2000 to 2020 and different scenarios in 2030, the PELS of the HCUA is dominated by forest ecological space (E1) and agricultural production space (P1), with no substantial alterations in the overall spatial distribution of the PELS. (2) Absolute and relative conflicts between 2000 and 2020 are mainly concentrated in the plains of the western regions, characterized by conflicts arising from the encroachment of living space on production space; however, absolute conflicts have declined annually, accompanied by a notable enhancement in ecological quality. (3) The spatial pattern of absolute conflicts in 2030 exhibits minimal variation, illustrating higher values in the western regions compared to the eastern parts, with living space surpassing ecological space and plains showing higher conflict values than mountains. …”
