Understanding plant community responses to combinations of biotic and abiotic factors in different phases of the plant growth cycle.

Understanding plant community responses to combinations of biotic and abiotic factors is critical for predicting ecosystem response to environmental change.However, studies of plant community regulation have seldom considered how responses to such factors vary with the different phases of the plant growth cycle.To address this deficit we studied an

3D Octave and 2D Vanilla Mixed Convolutional Neural Network for Hyperspectral Image Classification with Limited Samples

Owing to the outstanding feature extraction capability, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely applied in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification problems and have achieved an impressive dustin johnson spider putter performance.However, it is well known that 2D convolution suffers from the absent consideration of spectral informatio
