The protection and restoration of the biosphere is crucial for human resilience and well-
being, but the scarcity of data on the status and distribution of biodiversity puts these efforts …

As watersheds are complex systems that are difficult to directly study, the streams that drain
them are often sampled to search for watershed “signals.” These signals include the …

Understanding forest functioning is limited by the scalability of monitoring solutions and
difficulty of access. Manual sensor placement can reach most locations but lacks scalability …

Access and exploration of confined and cluttered spaces is a major challenge in search and
rescue, maintenance of infrastructures, and environmental monitoring. However, existing …

Forest canopies modify microclimates and create habitats for nonvascular epiphytes, but we
need to better understand the mechanisms regulating their vertical and horizontal …

Diagnostic testing to detect forest pathogens requires the collection of physical samples from
affected trees, which can be challenging in remote or rugged environments. As an …

Our understanding of how bees (Apoidea) use temperate forests is largely limited to
sampling the understory and forest floor. Studies over the last decade have demonstrated …

Forest products derived from woody trees, such as fruits, seeds, honey, wood and others,
are important resources for supporting rural livelihoods. However, little is known about the …

The ecology of the canopy–aerosphere interface within forested ecosystems remains
underexplored largely due to the challenges of physically accessing this zone. Sky bridges …

The collection of tree canopy samples in forest ecosystems has been challenging for
researchers and managers during the past decades. Various methods, including pole …
