Enhanced open biomass burning detection: The BranTNet approach using UAV aerial imagery and deep learning for environmental protection and health preservation by Hongyu Wang, Zhaomin Yao, Tian Li, Zhan Ying, Xiaodan Wu, Shanhu Hao, Miao Liu, Zhiguo Wang, Tianci Gu

“…Open biomass burning (OBB) in agriculture presents a significant and well-documented challenge, posing severe consequences for both environmental and human health. OBB releases air pollutants that degrade air quality and contribute to climate change, leading to premature deaths in regions with high concentrations of open crop straw burning (OCSB) emissions. …”

A Social-Ecological Approach to Studying Variation in Urban Trees and Ecosystem Services in the National Municipal District of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic by Elvia J. Meléndez-Ackerman, Mervin E. Pérez, Ana B. Pou Espinal, Claudia Caballero, Leonardo Cortés, Solhanlle Bonilla-Duarte, Gerald Bauer, José M. Martínez Guridy, Wayne J. Arendt, David J. Nowak

“…Despite these significant differences in stem densities, average values in four ecosystem services involving measures of carbon, rainfall, and contaminants (C-sequestration, C-storage, avoided runoff, and removal of air pollutants) were non-significant across wards. We found disproportionately more street trees in Ward 1 relative to Wards 2 and 3 and more trees in public spaces in Wards 1 and 2 relative to Ward 3. …”
