Forest inventory and management requirements are changing rapidly in the context of an
increasingly complex set of economic, environmental, and social policy objectives …

Vegetation structural complexity (VSC)—the three‐dimensional distribution of plants within
an ecosystem—is an important ecological trait. To date, research has focused primarily on …

Calibration and validation of aboveground biomass (AGB)(AGB) products retrieved from
satellite-borne sensors require accurate AGB estimates across hectare scales (1 to 100 ha) …

The poor constraint of forest Above Ground Biomass (AGB) is responsible, in part, for large
uncertainties in modelling future climate scenarios. Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) can be …

In recent years, LIght Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) and especially Terrestrial Laser
Scanning (TLS) systems have shown the potential to revolutionise forest structural …

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology has become one of the most dominant
acquisition methods for modeling forest attributes, such as very accurate tree structure …

Ecological and conservation research has provided a strong scientific underpinning to the
modeling of ecosystem services (ESs) over space and time, by identifying the ecological …

How tree morphology develops in mixed-species stands is essential for understanding and
modelling mixed-stand dynamics. However, research so far focused on the morphological …

Structural diversity is a key feature of forest ecosystems that influences ecosystem functions
from local to macroscales. The ability to measure structural diversity in forests with varying …

Understanding dynamic earth surface processes requires various spatial and temporal
