Highly detailed 3D scans of dense tropical rain forest plots are enabling precise estimates of tree structure, volume and ...

Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS): Lasers on the ground that scan trees from below. Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle Laser Scanning ...

New 3D scans of tropical rainforests give scientists better data on forest biomass, boosting carbon tracking and satellite ...

The left side of the flowchart illustrates the process of constructing spatial structure units, while the right side shows the process of building the coupling model using ensemble learning. The ...

Extreme events wipe out entire forests, dramatically eliminating complex ecosystems as well as local communities. Researchers have become quite familiar with such attention-grabbing events over the ...

A researcher from South Korea’s Korea Maritime Institute has found solar trees have the potential to generate the same power of a solar farm while reducing the loss of forest cover by up to 99%. In ...

Native forest restoration usually starts with faster growing "nurse plants" that provide shelter under which to plant bigger ...

Waipoua Forest is on New Zealand’s North Island in the Northland and Bay of Islands region, near Dargaville and about 1 hour and 45 minutes south of Whangārei. It holds the largest remaining native ...

A new study shows that careful forest thinning in the cascade mountains can reduce wildfire risk and help more snow reach the ground.

The method not only overcomes limitations of traditional LiDAR scanning but also enables the extraction of other hard-to-measure crown parameters, promising to advance forest management, breeding, and ...
