Forest disturbance and regeneration: a mosaic of discrete gap dynamics and open matrix regimes? [PDF]

, 2014
Question: Recent research in boreal forest suggests that an ‘open matrix’ model may be more appropriate than the traditional model of spatially discrete gap dynamics for describing forest disturbance and regeneration, but what is the evidence from ...

Taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia (Acanthaceae) in India

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia in India was undertaken through extensive field surveys and critical examination of herbarium specimens. Three taxa, Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina subsp. marina, and Avicennia officinalis, are described in detail. A synonymic list was compiled using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP)

Evaluating ICESat-2 and GEDI with Integrated Landsat-8 and PALSAR-2 for Mapping Tropical Forest Canopy Height

Remote Sensing
Mapping forest canopy height is critical for climate modeling and forest management, and tropical forests present unique challenges for remote sensing due to their dense vegetation and complex structure.

Predictions of Tropical Forest Biomass and Biomass Growth Based on Stand Height or Canopy Area Are Improved by Landsat-Scale Phenology across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands

Remote Sensing, 2017
Remotely-sensed estimates of forest biomass are usually based on various measurements of canopy height, area, volume or texture, as derived from LiDAR, radar or fine spatial resolution imagery. These measurements are then calibrated to estimates of stand

The impact of lianas on tree regeneration in tropical forest canopy gaps: evidence for an alternative pathway of gap‐phase regeneration [PDF]

, 2000
1 Regeneration in forest canopy gaps is thought to lead invariably to the rapid recruitment and growth of trees and the redevelopment of the canopy. Our observations, however, suggest that an alternate successional pathway is also likely, whereby gap ...

Estimation of Forest Canopy Height Over Mountainous Areas Using Satellite Lidar

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2014
The full waveform data of the large-footprint Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) on the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite, together with airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) data, were employed to retrieve the basal-area weighted mean height (Lorey's height) over sloping terrain in the Qilian mountains region, western China.

Update on Ouratea cidiana Sastre (Ochnaceae), a microendemic species from the Amazon: enlightening the identity and conservation status

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Ouratea cidiana (Ochnaceae) is a microendemic shrub species from the Brazilian Amazonia, occurring along the banks of the Trombetas River and restricted to the Cachoeira Porteira region, in western Pará State. Since the original collection nearly forty years ago, no additional records have been made, which is concerning given the continuous decline in ...

Drivers of remotely sensed tree height heterogeneity across spatial scales: Tree species diversity effects depend on local conditions and forest type

Ecological Indicators
Forests with high structural complexity provide a variety of ecosystem functions and services. They are further associated with greater ecosystem stability.

Lidar-Based Models of Understory Bird Habitat in a Tropical Forest [PDF]

, 2011
Where a poorly understood group of wildlife species seems to be declining quickly, a rapid assessment of the species’ habitat requirements may be needed in order to make the most optimal management decisions possible.

Serendipitous Data Following a Severe Windstorm in an Old-Growth Pine Stand [PDF]

, 2014
Reliable dimensional data for old-growth pine-dominated forests in the Gulf Coastal Plain of Arkansas are hard to find, but sometimes unfortunate circumstances provide good opportunities to acquire this information.
