Three concepts: an academic ecologist’s view by Alexander Protasov

“…It is pointed out that the concept of ‘agroecosystem’ should be considered quite broadly, since it can include not only landscapes, but also aquatic environments. Anthropodependent biotic communities include not only agricultural plants, but also a full spectrum of organisms, from bacteria to mammals. …”

Mapping hierarchical wetland characteristics by optical-SAR integration with collaborative spatial-spectral-temporal learning by Linwei Yue, Meiyue Wang, Chengpeng Huang, Qing Cheng, Qiangqiang Yuan, Huanfeng Shen

“…It remains a challenge to fuse the inherent characteristics of optical and SAR data by exploiting their discriminative feature representations for delineating wetland landscapes. To fully integrate the complementary information among optical and SAR data, a dual-branch deep network is proposed for mapping hierarchical wetland characteristics, which is referred to as HiWet-DBNet. …”

Des semis et des clones by Malou Delplancke, Yildiz Aumeeruddy-Thomas

“…This is why the status of the almond varies from that of a tolerated, to a fostered and even a highly domesticated tree, which prompts us to think about the domestication of a species in its imbricated spatial and temporal framework, concretely expressed in territories and agricultural landscapes. Rooted in time and space, an almond tree is a link between generations, between the living and the forebears, tradition and modernity, but also between what originates from here (beldi) and what comes from elsewhere (romi). …”

Field experiment confirms high macroplastic trapping efficiency of wood jams in a mountain river channel by Maciej Liro, Paweł Mikuś, Anna Zielonka

“…Abstract Identifying macroplastic deposition hotspots in rivers is essential for planning cleanup efforts and assessing the risks to aquatic life and the aesthetic value of river landscapes. Recent fieldwork in mountain rivers has shown that wood jams retain significantly more macroplastic than other emergent surfaces within river channels. …”

Géographie et hydrologie de la ville de Reims/Durocortorum et de ses environs by Alain Devos, Claire Pichard, Gilles Fronteau, Sébastien Laratte

“…The Ile-de-France’s cuesta bounds these tertiary plateaus and dominates the much flatter chalky Champagne to the east, the Cretaceous (Mesozoic) chalk layers of which compose a much shallower topographical layout. These flatter landscapes facilitate the passage of overland throughways, but the poor soils, without irrigation or modification, remain useful only for pastoralism. …”
