Advancing Early Drought Stress Detection in Eucalyptus Using Digital Phenotyping and Machine Learning
Peaceful Ntshangase is currently conducting MSc research focused on drought stress detection in eucalyptus seedlings using advanced digital phenotyping and machine learning approaches. The study investigates the physiological and structural responses of different eucalyptus genotypes under both well-watered and drought-stressed conditions within a controlled glasshouse environment. The research makes use of the PlantEye F600 multispectral […]
Investigation Soil Feeding Activity in Eucalyptus Plantations
Michelle Eckert’s research focused on advancing the use of the bait-lamina test, a well-established, non-destructive method for quantifying soil feeding activity by soil fauna in Eucalyptus plantations. By inserting bait-filled plastic strips into the soil profile, the technique provides an integrative measure of below-ground biological activity across sites and treatments. Michelle Eckert conducted a field […]
