TL;DR: In this paper , the authors analyzed continent-wide avian biodiversity data from an online checklist program, eBird, to examine how shifts in breeding bird species composition have been impacted by human modification at regional and continental scales and tested four hypotheses related to how abiotic novelty resulting from human modification generates biological novelty.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors compared pre-war arable land with 1990 CORINE Land Cover data to quantify land-use change throughout the socialist period and found that arable farming persisted mainly in areas with high accessibility that had oak-hornbeam forest as potential natural vegetation, on less steep slopes, and at lower elevations.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated a CNN-based building dataset and a CNN model from a separate commercial vendor to detect buildings from high-resolution imagery and found moderate accuracies for the building data and the CNN model and a severe underestimation of buildings and their destruction rates where trees occluded buildings.

TL;DR: In this article , the abundances of mammal species based on their response to several remotely sensed indices including the Dynamic Habitat Indices (DHIs) and the novel Winter Habitat Index (WHIs) were analyzed.

TL;DR: In this article , an extensive fire-scar network, spanning 240 km across the upper Great Lakes Region in North America, was analyzed to evaluate regional-scale historical fire regimes over 350 years.
