A new study published in Nature Communications has found that 17.31% of tropical tree cover—an area spanning 395.9 million ...

The tonka bean tree, scientifically known as Dipteryx oleifera, has developed the ability to not only survive strikes but also to transfer the electricity from lightning to its competitors and the ...

Only tree crowns of a sufficient size are captured in the images. Mugabowindekwe and his colleagues could generate maps at 0.25-m ... High-resolution global maps of 21st-Century forest cover change.

The Allen Institute for AI developed a new tool to map tree cover and renewable energy deployment across the world. It uses satellite imagery and AI to generate high-resolution images of Earth.

However, detecting deforestation requires only relatively low-resolution imagery. That’s because deforestation typically occurs over larger areas and involves removal of bigger trees.

Therefore, datasets with individually delineated tree crowns in very high resolution RGB data are costly. In cooperation with the University of Bamberg, we publish the BAMFORESTS dataset. BAMFORESTS ...

Researchers studied nearly 80,000 high-resolution satellite photographs of protected forest areas across a range of ecosystems to determine the natural level of tree cover in each.
