Within the realms of both wildland and prescribed fire, an understanding of how fire severity
and forest structure interact is critical for improving fuels treatment effectiveness, quantifying …

Trees have been found to have significant cooling effect on outdoor thermal environment.
This study explores the characteristics of a tree component (crown) that accounts for a large …

Wildfires can influence the canopy structure of resprouter forests in multiple ways including
crown scorching and consumption, tree damage and mortality, and changes in resources …

Wildfires burn heterogeneously across the landscape and create complex forest structures.
Quantifying the structural changes in post-fire forests is critical to evaluating wildfire impacts …

Forest structure is a key driver of forest functional processes. The characterization of forest
structure across spatiotemporal scales is essential for forest monitoring and management …

Vertical structure is an important parameter not only for assessment of the naturalness of a
forest and several functional parameters, such as biodiversity or protection from avalanches …
