arXiv:2510. 09458v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Interest in forestry automation is growing alongside rapid advances in deep learning.
The study presents a new approach to detect Christmas tree plantations in high‑resolution aerial imagery, treating the task as a rare‑target semantic segmentation problem. It introduces a Hard Negative Mining strategy that significantly improves precision‑recall performance, achieving an IoU of 0.733 and an F1‑score of 0.846 on a 2020 test set. Temporal transfer experiments demonstrate the model’s ability to generalize across years, while large‑scale validation highlights the challenge posed by the plantations’ small spatial footprint.

arXiv:2605. 05627v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sustainable forest management relies on precise species composition mapping, yet traditional ground surveys are labour-intensive and geographically constrained.
Over the past decade, interest in applying machine learning (ML) to automate forest monitoring has grown significantly. However, existing training datasets are predominantly drawn from North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, leaving a critical gap in African forestry data.
arXiv:2606. 00548v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) play an important role in agricultural production but are also associated with environmental, public health, and disease surveillance concerns.
