#Forests play a critical role in storing carbon and regulating climate, but measuring their biomass accurately is often expensive, time-consuming, and destructive. This #RSOS paper documents a reproducible workflow to estimate forest #biomass without cutting trees: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

Forecasting when a major pine pest will strike can help protect #forests. A new study combines neural network and Markov chain models to predict the peak egg period of the masson pine #caterpillar in China with high accuracy, aiding earlier, better-timed control.
