This review deals with the current research on wind-tree interaction, focusing on methods
and technologies applied on tree monitoring. 101 studies were included and classified …

Forest structural diversity and its spatiotemporal variability are constrained by environmental
and biological factors, including species pools, climate, land‐use history, and legacies of …

Canopy gaps are openings in the forest canopy resulting from branch fall and tree mortality
events. The geographical distribution of large canopy gaps may reflect underlying variation …

The future of tropical forests hinges on the balance between disturbance rates, which are
expected to increase with climate change, and tree growth. Whereas tree growth is a slow …

In closed‐canopy systems globally, plants exhibit intense competition for light, prioritizing
vertical growth to attain elevated positions within the canopy. Light competition is especially …

Here we report the recent discovery of the world's tallest tropical tree (Shorea faguetiana),
possibly the world's tallest angiosperm (flowering plant), located in the rainforests of Sabah …

Tree mortality rates are increasing within tropical rainforests as a result of global
environmental change. When trees die, gaps are created in forest canopies and carbon is …

The fundamental trade‐off between current and future reproduction has long been
considered to result in a tendency for species that can grow large to begin reproduction at a …

Accurate quantification of tree architecture is critical to interpreting the growth, health and
functioning of trees and forests. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) offers millimetre‐level point …

In tropical forests, trees strategically balance growth patterns to optimise fitness amid
multiple environmental stressors. Wind poses the primary risk to a tree's mechanical stability …
