Development of forest structure and leaf area in secondary forests regenerating on abandoned pastures in Central Amazonia [PDF]
, 2005 The area of secondary forest (SF) regenerating from pastures is increasing in the Amazon basin; however, the return of forest and canopy structure following abandonment is not well understood. This study examined the development of leaf area index (LAI),

Weak Environmental Controls of Tropical Forest Canopy Height in the Guiana Shield
Remote Sensing, 2016 Canopy height is a key variable in tropical forest functioning and for regional carbon inventories. We investigate the spatial structure of the canopy height of a tropical forest, its relationship with environmental physical covariates, and the ...

Nitrogen cycling, forest canopy reflectance, and emergent properties of ecosystems [PDF]
, 2013 In Ollinger et al. (1), we reported that mass-based concentrations of nitrogen in forest canopies (%N) are positively associated with whole-canopy photosynthetic capacity and canopy shortwave albedo in temperate and boreal forests, the latter result ...

Vertical distribution of sources and sinks of volatile organic compounds within a boreal forest canopy [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 The ecosystem–atmosphere flux of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) has important impacts on tropospheric oxidative capacity and the formation of secondary organic aerosols, influencing air quality and climate.

Spatial and Temporal Habitat Use of an Asian Elephant in Sumatra [PDF]
, 2013 Increasingly, habitat fragmentation caused by agricultural and human development has forced Sumatran elephants into relatively small areas, but there is little information on how elephants use these areas and thus, how habitats can be managed to sustain ...

Can increased training and awareness take forest research to new heights?
Trees, Forests and People, 2020 Forest canopies contribute significantly to global forest biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, yet are declining and understudied. One reason for a knowledge gap is that accessing forest canopies can be difficult and dangerous.

Health assessment of plantations based on LiDAR canopy spatial structure parameters
International Journal of Digital Earth, 2022 The Yellow River Delta (YRD) has China's largest artificial Robinia pseudoacacia forest, which was planted in the late 1970s and suffered extensive dieback in the 1990s.

Characterizing spatiotemporal variations of forest canopy gaps using aerial laser scanning data
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021 Spatiotemporal variations of forest canopy gaps are essential indicators for both forest dynamic monitoring by capturing their size and location variations and forest ecosystem management for tree seedling regeneration through altering the radiation ...
