Forest is a multi-layered canopy, where overstory and understory implement different biogeochemical cycles, phenology and functional role. Remote sensing products typically estimate forest total Leaf Area Index (LAI), while few quantify its components. The theoretical understanding of foliage distribution between layers is still quite limited. In this study we’ve developed a semi-empirical model for decomposition of forest total LAI between layers. Decomposition was implemented over the full extent of Russian forests, exhibiting a wide dynamic range of the forest total LAI. This paper addresses both the theoretical and practical aspects of the problem. In terms of theory we formalized the principles of forest layers "biological/radiometric coupling" into a parametric model allowing to analyze the relationship between overstory/ understory LAI and overstory crown fraction. The model captures various features of layers foliage growth, including the "understory seasonal dip effect". In terms of practical aspects, we generated time series of the MODIS layered LAI product for 2001-2020 at the spatial resolution of 230-m over Russian forests. We calculated mean layered LAI of species and contrasted with typical values from the literature surveys. According to our estimates relative contribution of understory LAI increases from South to North- 28% of forests pixels have understory LAI which exceeds that of overstory, those pixels are located in the northern part of the eastern Siberia and occupied by larch forests. The layered LAI product was intercompared/validated with multiple ground and remote sensing data.

The carbon balance of an ecosystem is the difference between Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (Reco) as expressed by Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE). While remote sensing retrievals of GPP have reached maturity, Reco estimation remains underexplored and ultimately cast bias on NEE. Here we present an end-to-end multi-scale analysis of the mechanism of ...

Electronic health records (EHRs) contain vast volumes of clinical information that encode complex relationships between diseases. Traditional approaches to the analysis of interrelated or co-occurring diseases have focused on pairwise associations between diagnoses, missing the higher-order structures that characterise multimorbid patients.

Psychological characteristic estimation from multimodal in-the-wild behavior is usually studied using separate corpora, each annotated for a single target task. Such annotation fragmentation limits cross-task learning and cross-domain generalization across affective, dispositional, and interactional phenomena. To address this problem, we use emotion, apparent personality trait, and ambivalence recognition as representative tasks and introduce MM-PSYCHE, a ...

Hypergraphs provide a natural framework for representing neurophysiological interactions distributed across sets of sensors. A key methodological question is how hyperedges should be defined from frequency-resolved electroencephalography/magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG) data. We demonstrate a construction strategy in which hyperedges are obtained from canonical coherence (caCOH), an extension of coherence that estimates coupling between multidimensional signal spaces. To ...

Identification of coherent states of spiking neural networks is a fundamental problem of
synchronization theory but conventional methods are computationally expensive. We apply
the crystallographic ideas of processing periodic structures to the analysis of various
states of spiking neuronal networks. In particular, the introduced approach is based on
the application of two-dimensional Fourier transform to rasterplots. By the position ...

The integration of data-driven and knowledge-driven approaches in generative geospatial modelling (GGM) is often hindered by their mathematical incompatibilities. Here, we propose a geometric algebra (GA)-based framework that employs a unified multi-vector representation to fuse heterogeneous data and diverse knowledge. The framework facilitates structured reasoning and hypothesis generation through a task-adaptable, five-stage cycle: representation, reasoning, ...

EEG recordings are often affected by the loss or corruption of individual channels due to electrode detachment, poor scalp contact, or external interference. Such channels must be accurately reconstructed before further analysis.
