Prolonged flooding alters forested wetland function by William Tomlinson, Jaybus Price, Jacob F. Berkowitz

“…The restored wetlands functional trajectory will continue evolving in response to changes in log and woody debris distribution as snags decay, and forest succession occurs. Future floods extending into the growing season, when tree mortality risk increases, will further influence the delivery of wetland functions.…”

Prediction of respiratory diseases based on random forest model by Xiaotong Yang, Xiaotong Yang, Yi Li, Yi Li, Lang Liu, Lang Liu, Zengliang Zang, Zengliang Zang

“…Furthermore, different linear relationships exist among the meteorological factors; specifically, meteorological factors show a negative correlation with pollutant elements, and there is a strong correlation among the pollutant factors. (3) When the number of medical visits ranged from 50 to 200, the predictions made by the random forest model closely matched the actual values, demonstrating strong predictive performance and the ability to effectively forecast daily variations in medical visits over extended periods, thus exhibiting good stability and generalization capability. (4) However, since the random forest model relies on a large amount of data for model validation, it has limitations in capturing extreme variations in medical visit numbers. …”

Anthropogenic Effects on Forest Ecosystems at Various Spatio-Temporal Scales by Michael Bredemeier

“…The focus in this review of long-term effects on forest ecosystems is on human impact. As a classification of this differentiated and complex matter, three domains of long-term effects with different scales in space and time are distinguished: 1- Exploitation and conversion history of forests in areas of extended human settlement 2- Long-range air pollution and acid deposition in industrialized regions 3- Current global loss of forests and soil degradation.…”
