To date, the forestry industry has obtained certain experience in implementing Open Source software. The article describes Open Source QGIS-plugins for the tasks of forest fires and forest resources monitoring and management in research and applications. The functionality analysis performed aimed to simplify the selection of tools for a forest geoinformation project in desktop and web versions. The article presents a brief description of presently downloadable QGIS (version 3.18.1) forestry plugins. The analysis of external QGIS-plugins for working with forest resources and fires has shown the heterogeneity of research. This prevents from identifying trends so far. An option for future research subjects may be development of plugins with available data as cartographic services for territories of different spatial coverage, taking into account that archived data and their availability is a key asset in the forestry. Subject-related forest scope in the present-day repository of QGIS-plugins tends to be relatively limited. Transport and environmental applications implemented in the form of GIS tools are more numerous and can solve individual tasks in the orest project. A review of plugins functionality, compatibility to the core QGIS and their performance should be performed on a regular basis, following new QGIS versions.

Comprehensive data on natural hazards and their consequences are crucial for effective for risk assessment, adaptation planning, and emergency response. However, many countries face challenges with fragmented, inconsistent, and inaccessible data, particularly regarding local-scale events. To address this data gap in Russia, we developed an end-to-end processing pipeline that scrapes news from various online sources, ...

Cloud shadows lead to alternating light and dark periods at the surface, with
the most abrupt changes occurring in the presence of low-level forced cumulus clouds.
We examine multiyear irradiance time series observed at a research tower in a midlatitude
mixed deciduous forest (Harvard Forest, Massachusetts, USA: 42.53◦N, 72.17◦W) and one
made at a similar tower in a tropical ...

We examine the physical and biological responses of forest canopies to step changes in light
caused by passing low cumulus clouds that intermittently block the direct solar beam. Using
data obtained at a tropical rainforest and at a midlatitude deciduous forest, we estimate the
course of sensible heat flux, net ecosystem exchange, evapotranspiration, and water-use efficiency in response ...

Addressing effects of environment on eddy-covariance flux estimates at a temperate sedge-grass marsh
Sergey N. Kivalov, Dušek J., Czerný R. et al., Boundary-Layer Meteorology 2023 Vol. 186 P. 217–250
We examined the net-ecosystem-exchange (NEE)-based annual carbon-balance estimates
obtained from eddy-covariance (EC) measurements at an unmanaged sedge-grass marsh
ecosystem (Tˇreboˇn, Czech Republic, 49°1′ N, 14°46′ E), seeking methods to improve the EC
measurements in inhomogeneous environment. The data filtering procedure was developed
using three thresholds: (a) a stationarity test; (b) a stability u∗-threshold; and (c) a high relative
humidity RH-threshold. ...

Soil respiration (SR) is a main component of the carbon cycle in terrestrial ecosystems,
and being strongly affected by changes in the environment, it is a good indicator of the ecosystem’s
ability to cope with climate change. This research aims to find better empirical SR models using
25-year-long SR monitoring in two forest ecosystems formed on sandy Entic ...

Оценка дыхания почвы - одного из основных источников углекислого газа в атмосферу – необходима для корректного определения углеродного баланса в наземных экосистемах. Сравнение пульсационного и камерного методов измерения дыхания почвы, проведенные в березняке постагрогенном в регионе южного Подмосковья, показывает хорошую сопоставимость этих методов с коэффициентом детерминации R2=0.75 (p-value=7.546e-12).

On certain kinds of cloudy days, many forested ecosystems exhibit enhanced carbon uptake and water-use efficiency-the cloudy-day forest flux anomaly. Using ensemble methods to analyze eddy-covariance fluxes, we have
diagnosed net ecosystem exchange (NEE) and water-use efficiency (WUE) of a temperate broadleaf forest and a
tropical evergreen forest as they responded to natural fluctuating-light regimes. Here we ...

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) efflux from soil (or soil respiration, SR) is one of the most important yet variable characteristics of soil. When evaluating large areas, CO₂ efflux modeling serves as a viable alternative to direct measurements. This research aims to identify site-specific differences and their effects on empirical CO₂ efflux modeling. The experimental data from ...

Natural regeneration of forest soils affected by agricultural practices is a common phenomenon in many regions worldwide, particularly in boreal ecosystems. Affecting soil quality, the partitioning of extractable fractions of heavy metals and metalloids (HMMs) is not studied during natural regeneration. The following stages of natural regeneration after plowing have been identified in the Smolenskoye ...

Late Pleistocene transformation of European glacial landscapes is often narrowed down to the impact of
postglacial linear erosion. Yet in the marginal zone of MIS 6 glaciation extensive watersheds were protractedly
affected by the postglacial flattening in periglacial and interglacial conditions. Local sediment sinks such
as kettle holes and dry valleys infilled throughout the postglacial stage can serve ...

В последние десятилетия изменение климата и деятельность человека оказывают все большее воздействие на реки, что во многом может провоцировать или усиливать проявление опасных русловых процессов (размывов берегов). Доступность спутниковых снимков с глобальным охватом предоставляет широкие возможности для изучения плановых деформаций русла и их количественной оценки. Это все стало основой для активного развития методов дистанционного зондирования, ...
