Capturing and quantifying the world in three dimensions (x, y, z) using light detection and
ranging (lidar) technology drives fundamental advances in the Earth and Ecological …

The advent and recent advances of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) have enabled
accurate measurement of 3D ecosystem structure. Here, we review insights gained through …

Tropical forest recovery is fundamental to addressing the intertwined climate and
biodiversity loss crises. While regenerating trees sequester carbon relatively quickly, the …

The habitat heterogeneity hypothesis predicts that biodiversity increases with increasing
habitat heterogeneity due to greater niche dimensionality. However, recent studies have …

The probability of detecting the echolocation calls of bats is affected by the strength of the
signal as well as the directionality and frequency response of the acoustic detectors …

Central Europe's temperate forests are heavily shaped by centuries of human activity. Their
natural vegetation, mainly consisting of beech-dominated (Fagus sylvatica) deciduous …

Heavy natural disturbance in large protected areas of former commercial forests increasingly
evokes European parliaments to call for management intervention because a loss of …

Detailed information about three-dimensional vegetation structure proves increasingly
useful for studying species-habitat relationships in forest ecosystems. This particularly …

For several decades, forest managers have considered the effects of logging on the habitat
quality of forests for bats. Concern about bat activity above the canopy has now been raised …

Despite the key importance of the landscape matrix for bats, we still not fully understand how
the effect of forest composition interacts at combined stand and landscape scales to shape …
