description: Vegetation phenology plays a pivotal role in ecological processes on terrestrial surfaces and the interactions between the biosphere and atmospheric feedback. Current attempts to retrieve vegetation phenology have primarily depended on vegetation indices extracted from satellite remote sensing imagery. These approaches often neglect the underlying physical mechanisms associated with climatic factors, and there is a notable absence of evaluations and comparisons with field-observed phenology inventory data. To address these limitations, this paper proposes an innovative physical constraint neural networks (PCNNs) model that combines machine learning techniques with physical mechanisms to enhance the accuracy of vegetation phenology predictions. By incorporating meteorological variables into a machine learning model and by using the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) dataset to identify the vegetation phenology of four vegetation types in North America, this study delved into the relationship between vegetation phenology and climate factors as well as its impacts on ecosystems. Our model demonstrated high accuracy compared to machine learning methods without physical mechanisms when validated by field observations from PhenoCam and the USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN) spanning from 2001 to 2021. The results show that the overall root mean square error (RMSE) with physical constraints is reduced to 12.37 days, higher by 2.6 days than the machine learning method without physical constraints. We compared four vegetation types using different machine learning and traditional rule-based methods, deciduous vegetation (DV) exhibited the most favorable prediction results, with the RMSE and mean bias error (MBE) as low as 5.71 days and 4.06 days in PCNNs model, respectively. This was followed by evergreen needle-leaved forests and mixed forests with RMSE of 12.32 and 13.28 days, respectively. The stressed deciduous vegetation type had the worst prediction result of 19.86 days (RMSE), and the weighted index of agreement (WIA) attained a value of 0.68. These findings suggest that the model embedded with physical constraints significantly boosted prediction accuracy for four common vegetation types, particularly for DV, compared to the unconstrained ML model. It offers valuable insights into the incorporation of physical mechanisms within machine learning models. This research paves the way for substantial advancements in the field of land surface phenology, enabling more accurate and reliable predictions of vegetation phenology in various ecological and climatic contexts.

description: The rapidly changing climate in the High Arctic is posing significant challenges to its ecosystem. To better understand the changes, this study uses Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology equipped with a thermal camera to investigate ground and water temperatures in the catchments of southwest Spitsbergen. This approach provides high-resolution, real-time data, offering a detailed understanding of surface temperatures in this remote and harsh environment. Integrating UAV technology with in-situ measurements enables data collection at high spatial and temporal scales, facilitating a thorough analysis of temperature trends and patterns. The research introduces a new processing workflow using open-source packages to create thermal orthomosaics, enhancing the analysis’s accuracy and efficiency. The final developed orthomosaics examine spatial variations in Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Water Surface Temperature (WST) and explore factors influencing them. Additionally, the study investigates thermal patterns in Arctic hydrological systems, such as channels and ponds, allowing for the identification and characterization of flow paths, including groundwater intrusions and surface water mixing, within the catchments. This multidimensional approach aims to provide valuable insights into the complex interactions between cryo-, hydro-, and meteorological dynamics in the High Arctic.

Abstract: How has the LINCS project created new opportunities for colleagues working with tools and research projects from the LINCS ‘TEI Neighborhood’ to collaborate in mutually beneficial ways?  In this paper we will consider how the researchers on the REED London project and the team on LINCS X-Triples have established a symbiotic relationship that has both enhanced the development of X-Triples and shaped the way in which REED London is pursuing the next phase of its development – not so much as to be “LOD-ready”, but to rethink the ways in which we present data-driven narratives.

Our event model was developed to compile archival material surrounding processions through the City of London that involve female royalty at the center of the performances. The model draws upon the REED London Civic collection, which captures documentary records revealing the activities of London’s Worshipful Companies (London’s leading trade guilds, who effectively ruled the City). The events described in these records involve people, places, and organizations, as well as unstructured information such as pageant speeches. By breaking down historical narratives into data nodes, we were able to come up with a definition for an event as an occurrence that changes our understanding of time. In order to test this event model, we created interlocking person- place- and orgographies that provided us with the framework for a narrative understanding of how these events mesh together. The value of this event model in terms of LINCS is that it is rooted in richly human-encoded TEI that can be transformed via XTriples’s XSLTs, into CIDOC-CRM compliant RDF data.

The authors have worked intensively with the X-Triples team to help develop the tool using our data as a test case, which served as a kind of feedback loop that also strengthened our event model so that it could be better prepared for linking.

description: Background: The impact of combination therapy on disease-related morbidity in patients with established Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) remains to be well-defined. Aim: To examine the effect of combination therapy on disease outcomes in CD and UC. Methods: Using a multicenter prospective cohort, we classified CD and UC patients as being on monotherapy with anti-TNF or on combination with an immunomodulator. The primary outcome was a composite of new IBD-related surgery, hospitalisations, penetrating complications, need for corticosteroids or new biological at 1 year. Multivariable regression models adjusted for potential confounders. Results: We included 707 patients with CD (45% combination therapy) and 164 with UC (38% combination therapy). Combination therapy was not associated with reduction in the composite outcome in either CD (OR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.63-1.22) or UC (OR: 1.45, 95% CI: 0.63-3.38). However, while no difference was noted in those with nonstricturing, nonpenetrating CD, a significant reduction in the likelihood of the outcome was seen in those with stricturing or penetrating CD (30% vs 39%, OR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.37-0.90). A stronger effect was also observed in those with disease duration <5 years (OR: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.14-0.87) compared to those with a longer duration (OR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.45-1.27). A similar reduction in occurrence of composite outcome was noted with infliximab and with other anti-TNF biologics. Conclusion: The benefit of combination immunomodulator-biological therapy is stronger in those with complicated Crohn's disease, particularly early on in their disease course.

description: The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is expected to revolutionize the quantification of aboveground carbon at continental scales, through its unprecedented dense vertical observations of vegetation structure. As its primary task, GEDI recently introduced GEDI L4A, the 25 m near-global footprint aboveground biomass density (AGBD) product. As a global mission with significant policy and management applications, it is urgent to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of GEDI L4A and to analyze the factors affecting the product’s performance. In this study, the accuracy of GEDI L4A is assessed using co-registered airborne Lidar surveys collected during 2018 ~ 2019 and corresponding AGBD plots at 19 sites of the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). The analysis included 11 forest types and spanned 17 eco-climatic domains across the conterminous United States to ensure the representativeness and comprehensiveness of the evaluation result. The interplay of nine factors affecting GEDI L4A is quantified, including the simulated waveform strategy deviation (SWSD) used in GEDI L4A, canopy characteristics (tree height, crown size, and canopy cover), canopy heterogeneity (crown size standard deviation, tree height standard deviation, and tree density), and other factors (forest type and topographic slope). Results show that compared with NEON observations, GEDI L4A generally underestimates the AGBD (Bias: −31.65 Mg/ha), with a moderate relative error exhibited in 14 of 19 sites (%RMSE ranging from 19% to 50%). For half of the forest types, the threshold of the lowest accuracy requirement of AGBD products set by GCOS was met or was close to being met. Broadleaf forests with high AGBD values had the lowest %RMSE (less than 35%), while coniferous forests with low AGBD values had the highest %RMSE (over 50%). Among the different factors considered, the SWSD contributed the most to GEDI L4A’s accuracy, with a relative importance of 56.63%, and manifested the indirect impacts of canopy heterogeneity and canopy characteristics. The relative importance of canopy heterogeneity (32.40%) was the second highest after SWSD; it was also much higher than that of canopy characteristics (3.99%). These results indicate the limitation of using only relative heights as predictors in GEDI L4A due to limited representation of horizontal structure and vertical tree complexity within a footprint. The findings in this study are a step forward in GEDI L4A’s appropriate application and provide perspectives to aid its improvement.

description: Background: As the American population is aging, the number of older people with inflammatory bowel disease is increasing. We used clinical data from the Sinai-Helmsley Alliance for Research Excellence (SHARE), a prospective cohort, to examine disease and treatment differences in older adults. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study assessing demographics and disease behavior by age at diagnosis with univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. "Older-onset" patients were diagnosed after age 60, "younger-onset" patients were diagnosed before age 60 but are older than 60 years, and the remainder were "young." Results: There were 91 older-onset, 389 younger-onset, and 3431 young patients with Crohn's disease. Older-onset patients had more ileal (37%) and colonic (27%) disease compared with younger-onset and young patients. There were no differences in disease behavior, location, or surgeries between older-onset and young patients with Crohn's disease within 5 years of diagnosis. Older-onset patients with inflammatory disease had a higher odds of being in remission. Young patients reported more anti-tumor necrosis factor and thiopurine use compared with younger-onset and older-onset patients (P < 0.01). There were 98 older-onset, 218 younger-onset, and 1702 young patients with ulcerative colitis. There were no differences in disease extent, activity index, or surgeries. Young patients with ulcerative colitis reported more anti-tumor necrosis factor use (26%) compared with younger-onset patients (17%, P < 0.01). Conclusions: Disease behavior or location was not different between younger and older adults with inflammatory bowel disease. Older patients were less likely to be treated with immunosuppression. If older patients have similar disease behavior, less frequent treatment with immunosuppressives may risk suboptimally controlled disease.

description: Understanding grassland habitat dynamics in space and time is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of protection measures and developing sustainable management practices, specifically within the Natura 2000 network and in light of the European Biodiversity Strategy. Land cover maps, derived from remote sensing data, are essential for understanding long-term changes in vegetation cover and land use and assessing the impact of land use changes on grassland ecosystems. In this study, we conducted a 20-year land cover analysis of grassland landscapes in Umbria, Italy, using Random Forest classifications of Landsat data in Google Earth Engine. Our analysis was based on the years 2000, 2010, and 2020. We integrated harmonic modeling, Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) textural analysis, statistical image and gradient analysis, and other spectral and Digital Terrain Model (DTM)-derived indices to enhance the classification capabilities. The LandTrendr (LT) algorithm was used in GEE to collect ground control points in no-change areas automatically. We used a method based on Multilayer Perceptron-Artificial Neural Networks (MLP-ANNs) to forecast 2040 land cover. Our land cover classifications and the scenario model validation achieved an overall accuracy of over 90%. However, the classification of shrublands proved challenging due to their mixed composition and unique spatial patterns, resulting in lower accuracies. Feature importance analysis demonstrated the value of the enhanced map composition, and applying the LandTrendr algorithm simplified the diachronic land use and land cover (LULC) classification and change analysis by supporting automatic training data collection. Results support the interpretation of grassland dynamics in Umbria over the past two decades and identify areas affected by encroachment from shrubs, woody plants, or those with reduced green biomass. The forecasting method along with the selection of spatial drivers to predict land cover change, demonstrated high efficiency compared to other studies. A specific analysis was developed to identify areas where conservation measures related to the Natura 2000 network have been more or less effective in preserving grasslands. Overall, the research provides a scientific foundation for a methodology helpful in informing policy decisions and defining spatially explicit management strategies to enhance grassland conservation inside and outside Natura 2000 areas.

description: Wildlife surveys are key to assessing the health of global biodiversity. Traditional field and aerial methods however have significant limitations, including high costs, substantial time investment, and potentially biased estimates. The increasing availability of high-throughput monitoring sensors in recent years has opened new perspectives for wildlife studies. Very-high-resolution (VHR) satellite sensors promise large spatial and temporal coverage while seemingly being less costly than traditional methods. Deep learning (DL) has shown increasingly impressive capabilities for processing remote sensing imagery, suggesting good prospects for imagery-based wildlife surveys. We reviewed all taxa and geographic area studies that use satellite imagery for wildlife detection, counting and surveys. Through an analysis of 49 peer-reviewed papers, this study examined the sensors and resolutions employed along with the methods used to detect, count and survey wildlife in various biomes. Results have revealed an increasing trend of publications. Mammals and birds are the focus of most of the papers, mainly in polar/alpine and pelagic ocean waters biomes. Visual interpretation is the most common method used for wildlife detection and counting while total count is mostly used for surveying. Most of the papers present a proof of concept to detect, count and survey wildlife. Technological advances are expected to enhance the spatial and temporal resolutions of satellite imagery, as well as image processing capabilities. Three main bottlenecks preventing the development of on-demand operational approaches for wildlife surveys were identified: 1) the business model of VHR satellite imagery providers is not conducive to wildlife studies; 2) satellite imagery is rarely shared; and 3) the training of multidisciplinary highly qualified personnel is underdeveloped. In response, this review presents key research priorities for advancing remote sensing for wildlife monitoring. They include wildlife-dedicated satellite constellations at enhanced spatial and temporal resolutions, increased data accessibility and sharing, adapted survey strategy, development of foundational DL model and multidisciplinary integration. We believe that progress in these directions will foster new survey strategies that are certain to revolutionize wildlife monitoring in the decades to come.
