Detecting individual Populus euphratica (P. euphratica) trees in desert forest areas is crucial for monitoring their ecophysiological characteristics and ecological conservation. However, the presence of the spectral-similar Tamarix chinensis (T. chinensis) in the habitats, along with the densely overlapping crowns in clustered P. euphratica, prese...
The development of UAVs and multispectral cameras has led to remote sensing applications with unprecedented spatial resolution. However, uncertainty remains on the radiometric calibration process for converting raw images to surface reflectance. Several calibration methods exist, but the advantages and disadvantages of each are not well understood....
Background: Thermography is a popular tool to assess plant water-use behavior, as plant temperature is influenced by transpiration rate, and is commonly used in field experiments to detect plant water deficit. Its application in indoor automated phenotyping platforms is still limited and mainly focuses on differences in plant temperature between ge...
The complexity of urban physical environments at road intersections is a primary factor characterizing the difficulty of wayfinding, which is a fundamental spatial activity of human beings in cities. A complex intersection may increase the difficulty of understanding the environment, which may result in incorrect turning decisions and even bring ro...
Inclusive research practices can lead to progress towards an inclusive society. With this study, we aimed to gain insight into dilemmas and catalysing processes within the long-term collaboration of an inclusive research duo: one non-academic researcher who lives with the label of intellectual disabilities and visual impairment, and one academic re...

The Altai Mountains are one of the most impressive and valuable archaeological areas in the world. Kurgans (burial mounds) of ancient civilizations, which are scattered across the vast Altai area, are an exceptionally valuable source of information for archaeology. These precious archaeological resources, which sometimes have been preserved intact ...
Ice-free areas occupy less than 0.25% of the Antarctic surface, and mainly occur along coastlines, or as inland nunataks protruding from the extensive ice sheet. Their extreme environment and geographical isolation have contributed to the evolution of highly adapted, and largely endemic terrestrial biota. Physical habitat mapping is important to id...
This study investigates incidental vocabulary learning through captioned or subtitled videos and examines whether and how different learner- (prior vocabulary knowledge) and word-related factors (i.e., frequency of occurrence, cognateness, and imagery) influence learning gains from watching videos. Low-intermediate Dutch-speaking learners of French...
