A tree can sequester quite a bit of carbon, and forests can sequester and store quite a bit more, but knowing exactly how ...

Model-based molecular phylogenetics plays an important role in comparisons of genomic data, and model selection is a key step in all such analyses. We present ModelFinder, a fast model-selection ...

This four-part Mongabay mini-series examines the latest technological solutions to help tree-planting projects achieve scale and long-term efficiency. Using these innovative approaches could be vital ...

New research led by Griffith University has measured individual tree heights across 3.1 million hectares in the New South ...

One of the great challenges of ecology is to understand the factors that maintain, or undermine, diversity in ecosystems, researchers write in a new report in the journal Science. The researchers ...

More trees mean healthier neighborhoods, and a new map is helping the city of Chicago identify neighborhoods that could benefit from increased investment in street trees. Health geographer and data ...

A method for fitting piecewise proportional hazards models to censored survival data is described. Stratification is performed recursively, using a combination of ...

Throughout the week, you will learn how to apply SVMs to classify or predict outcomes in a given dataset, select appropriate kernel functions and parameters, and evaluate model performance. In this ...

The Centre has issued model rules for the felling of trees on agricultural land in a bid to promote agroforestry with the aim of doubling farmers’ incomes, increasing tree cover outside forests and ...
