Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) was introduced for basic forest measurements, such as tree
height and diameter, in the early 2000s. Recent advances in sensor and algorithm …

How ecologists think about above‐ground forest structure and dynamics is fundamentally
shaped by the data we can collect. This has historically been limited to what is possible with …

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) …

Remote sensing is revolutionizing the way we study forests, and recent technological
advances mean we are now able–for the first time–to identify and measure the crown …

Tropical forest biomass is a crucial component of global carbon emission estimations.
However, calibration and validation of such estimates require accurate and effective …

Quantifying climate mitigation benefits of biosphere protection or restoration requires
accurate assessment of forest above‐ground biomass (AGB). This is usually estimated using …

Abstract Characterization of tropical forest trees has been limited to field-based techniques
focused on measurement of diameter of the cylindrical part of the bole, with large uncertainty …

Tropical forests vary widely in biomass carbon (C) stocks and fluxes even after controlling for
forest age. A mechanistic understanding of this variation is critical to accurately predicting …

Forest biomass monitoring is at the core of the research agenda due to the critical
importance of forest dynamics in the carbon cycle. However, forest biomass is never directly …

Calibration of local, regional or global allometric equations to estimate biomass at the tree
level constitutes a significant burden on projects aiming at reducing Carbon emissions from …
