Two test sites (with areas of 14,750 km2 and 12,630 km2) were used with a total of 1053 forest stands from southwestern Estonia and 951 forest stands from southeastern Estonia. The thinnings were predicted based on the ALS measurements in 2019 and 2017. The two most important ALS metrics for predicting the need for thinning were the 95th height percentile and the canopy cover. The prediction accuracy based on validation stands was 93.5% for southwestern Estonia and 85.7% for southeastern Estonia. For comparison, the general linear model prediction accuracy was less for both test sites—92.1% for southwest and 81.8% for southeast. The selected important predictive ALS metrics differed from those used in the RF algorithm. The cross-validation of the thinning necessity models of southeastern and southwestern Estonia showed a dependence on geographic regions.

New Fuzzy-AHP Matlab based graphical user interface (GUI) for a broad range of users: Sample applications in the environmental field / Meryem Tahri in Computers & geosciences, vol 158 (January 2022)  

Public [article]  inComputers & geosciences > vol 158 (January 2022) . - n° 104951 Titre : New Fuzzy-AHP Matlab based graphical user interface (GUI) for a broad range of users: Sample applications in the environmental field Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Meryem Tahri, Auteur ; Mohamed Maanan, Auteur ; Haytham Tahri, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 104951 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Analyse spatiale [Termes IGN] analyse multicritère [Termes IGN] gestion forestière [Termes IGN] interface graphique [Termes IGN] Matlab [Termes IGN] outil d'aide à la décision [Termes IGN] planification [Termes IGN] processus de hiérarchisation analytique floue Résumé : (auteur) Fuzzy-AHP (analytical hierarchy process) is a powerful method for dealing with subjective information. This popular hybrid approach is widely applied in medical and health science, and industrial management, mainly agriculture and environmental sciences. However, it is a complex, time-consuming method, which has induced us to try and optimize the decision-support system process. We create the Fuzzy-AHP algorithm and program in Matlab software, and convert it with the Matlab based graphical user interface (GUI) application. This is a new desktop tool with a wide selection of applications to help decision-makers prioritize choices and/or criteria goals based on expert judgments imported from Excel and a number of criteria. The new technique is designed to allow experts to fill the matrix judgment from both sides depending on the importance of criteria selection. Also, an optional alpha index to define stable or unstable conditions was requested for advanced users. The application was tested and applied in forest recreation and agroforestry case studies. The user-friendly Fuzzy-AHP Matlab GUI facilitates the process analysis speedily and offers an innovative way of enhancing the uncertainty to find the best compromise among experts. The tool is useful for optimizing the decision-support system process in many different fields.

One of the focuses of this paper is given to the survey process and interpretation between soil survey, soil survey interpretation, and physical land evaluation. Such processes are realized using mobile mapping tools with integrated Global Position Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Both have increased the efficiency of data communication technologies by enabling real-time communication between people located in the field and office as well. For the soil classification as a key component of soil surveys is used World Reference Base (WRB) for Soil Resources. This is a common tool to summarize the wealth of information from soil profiles for the purpose of land evaluation. The final results showed a soil classification map. Such results are derived from many activities, since it includes a preliminary land evaluation, field soil survey with auger holes and profiles as well. This methodology is used for the first time in the selected study area.

Attribution of the Australian bushfire risk to anthropogenic climate change / Geert Jan Van Oldenborgh in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, vol 21 n° 3 (March 2021)  

Public [article]  inNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences > vol 21 n° 3 (March 2021) . - pp 941 - 960 Titre : Attribution of the Australian bushfire risk to anthropogenic climate change Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Geert Jan Van Oldenborgh, Auteur ; Folmer Krikken, Auteur ; Sophie Lewis, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 941 - 960 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] analyse des risques [Termes IGN] brousse [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] incendie [Termes IGN] modèle météorologique [Termes IGN] planification [Termes IGN] prévention des risques [Termes IGN] série temporelle [Termes IGN] température au sol [Termes IGN] utilisation du sol Résumé : (auteur) Disastrous bushfires during the last months of 2019 and January 2020 affected Australia, raising the question to what extent the risk of these fires was exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change. To answer the question for southeastern Australia, where fires were particularly severe, affecting people and ecosystems, we use a physically based index of fire weather, the Fire Weather Index; long-term observations of heat and drought; and 11 large ensembles of state-of-the-art climate models. We find large trends in the Fire Weather Index in the fifth-generation European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Atmospheric Reanalysis (ERA5) since 1979 and a smaller but significant increase by at least 30 % in the models. Therefore, we find that climate change has induced a higher weather-induced risk of such an extreme fire season. This trend is mainly driven by the increase of temperature extremes. In agreement with previous analyses we find that heat extremes have become more likely by at least a factor of 2 due to the long-term warming trend. However, current climate models overestimate variability and tend to underestimate the long-term trend in these extremes, so the true change in the likelihood of extreme heat could be larger, suggesting that the attribution of the increased fire weather risk is a conservative estimate. We do not find an attributable trend in either extreme annual drought or the driest month of the fire season, September–February. The observations, however, show a weak drying trend in the annual mean. For the 2019/20 season more than half of the July–December drought was driven by record excursions of the Indian Ocean Dipole and Southern Annular Mode, factors which are included in the analysis here. The study reveals the complexity of the 2019/20 bushfire event, with some but not all drivers showing an imprint of anthropogenic climate change. Finally, the study concludes with a qualitative review of various vulnerability and exposure factors that each play a role, along with the hazard in increasing or decreasing the overall impact of the bushfires.

In this study analysis of forest inventory data is done on how far and in what density natural regeneration of both Pedunculate and Sessile oak occurs in coniferous stands. In order to investigate as exclusively as possible the effect of distance to the seed source on the regeneration density of both oaks, the regeneration potential was determined by using quantile regression. By applying a .995th quantile, reducing factors on seedling density, e.g. desiccation, browsing, pathogens or limited resource availability, were excluded as much as possible. Thus, the effect of zoochorus vectors on effective dispersal could be quantified. The regeneration potential was determined based on data from the forest inventory of the Saxony state forest enterprise, Germany, including 2357 sample plots. Remote sensing data, including the location of oaks in the overstorey, were used to determine the distance to the nearest potential seed source. The results of the present study demonstrate that the highest regeneration densities are not found in the immediate vicinity of the nearest seed source, but at distances between 60 and 140 m to it,i.e. the maximum of seedling density per area unit is in some distance to the trees trunk. In the present study, dispersal distances of established regeneration up to 1565 m were detected. From a distance of 1570–2300 m on, there was no oak regeneration. The results prove that acorns are taken from the seed source and that, in addition to barochorus dispersal, the zoochorus dispersal is of great importance for the succession of coniferous stands. The position of potential seed sources is therefore an important information for silvicultural planning, in order to estimate potential oak regeneration densities.
