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

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

Since 2024, the City of Grand Marais has been developing an urban forest management plan to guide the city in implementing ...

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 ...

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

Extreme heat waves are on the rise. When do they become critical for forest trees? In the hot summer of 2023, a research team led by the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research ...

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 ...

Picture a forested hillside stripped bare, replaced by row after row of black solar panels. That’s the tradeoff many communities face: renewable power at the cost of ecosystems. But a growing body of ...

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

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 ...
