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) …

Branch architecture plays an important role in forest physical and ecological processes,
greatly affecting forest spatial structure and the accumulation, production and distribution of …

Abstract Purpose of Review Since the late 1990s, researchers have been increasingly
utilising digital methodologies to assess the branch structure of trees. The emergence of …

Quantitative structural models (QSMs) are frequently used to simplify single tree point clouds
obtained by terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). QSMs use geometric primitives to derive …

Habitat fragmentation could potentially affect tree architecture and allometry. Here, we use
ground surveys of terrestrial LiDAR in Central Amazonia to explore the influence of forest …

Accurate estimates of above-ground tree biomass within forest inventories are essential for
calibration and validation of biomass map** products based on Earth observation data …

Tree volume is a key feature in forest monitoring, delivering information, such as wood
availability or forest carbon balance. To date, tree volume, ie the total volume of the above …

Above‐ground biomass (AGB) is an important metric used to quantify the mass of carbon
stored in terrestrial ecosystems. For forests, this is routinely estimated at the plot scale …

We showed that a mobile handheld laser scanner (HHLS) provides useful features
concerning the wood quality-influencing external structures of trees. When linked with wood …
