Wetland landscape classification is fundamental to monitoring changes in ecosystem patterns. This study proposes an ensemble classification approach that integrates Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC) and Decision Tree (DT) methods with optimized feature selection for long-term wetland monitoring in the Liaohe Delta, China. Based on four periods of Landsat remote sensing images from 1987, 1997, 2007, and 2017, multi-dimens...

Coral reefs, with their high biodiversity and ecological service functions, face significant threats due to climate change, overfishing, and pollution. The South China Sea (SCS) hosts rich coral biodiversity, particularly Acropora hyacinthus, a critical species for reef restoration. However, the region’s coral reefs are increasingly degraded, highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts. In the present study, the gene...

The construction of artificial reefs is the primary ecological project of marine ranching and one of the most important methods of creating habitats for marine organisms. To date, studies on artificial reefs have taken a macroscopic perspective, with few studies having investigated the fungal communities in artificial reefs in the North Yellow Sea. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the distribution patterns of...
