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

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

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

Native forest restoration usually starts with faster growing "nurse plants" that provide shelter under which to plant bigger trees—but new research suggests some big canopy trees can be planted early ...

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 ...

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 ...

The idea that forest trees can 'talk' to each other, share resources with their seedlings -- and even protect them -- through a connective underground web of delicate fungal filaments tickles 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 ...

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 ...
