This study shows drone-derived canopy height can predict aboveground biomass in non-forest ecosystems globally, demonstrating the generalizability of photogrammetric methods across plant types and environments.

The paper analyzes population trends of nearly 10,000 vertebrate species and finds that amphibians are the only taxa with net declines, while birds, mammals, and reptiles show net increases.

The paper quantifies how 150 years of forest cover change impacted population abundance, species richness, and temporal species turnover globally, finding forest loss intensified these changes by up to 48%.

This paper summarizes best practices for using drone-based multispectral sensors in high latitude ecological monitoring, highlighting challenges and solutions for consistent data collection.
