Evidence for environmentally enhanced forest growth. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014 Significance Northern forests have sequestered a substantial amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during the past several decades. This large carbon (C) sink usually is considered to be driven by tree regrowth after stand-replacing disturbance and growth enhancement due to environmental changes, but the relative contribution ...

Russian forests show strong potential for young forest growth. [PDF]
Commun Earth EnvironAbstract Climate warming has improved conditions for boreal forest growth, yet the region’s fate as a carbon sink of aboveground biomass remains uncertain. Forest height is a powerful predictor of aboveground forest biomass, and access to spatially detailed height-age relationships could improve the understanding of carbon dynamics in this ...

A new approach for modeling stand height development of German forests under climate change
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 IntroductionWe developed a new approach for site index curve models that combines longitudinal height development patterns derived from state-space data with the broad environmental conditions covered by space-for-time data.MethodsFor this, we gathered ...

Annals of Forest Science, 2023 Key message We provide a set of allometric models for wild cherry trees (Prunus avium L.) established in agroforestry systems. A total of 70 trees in southwestern Germany were surveyed using terrestrial laser scanning and analysed using quantitative ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The conifer tree species Norway spruce (Picea abies), silver fir (Abies alba) and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) are important elements in tree species composition and forest management of Central European forests, but their potential to thrive ...

Evaluating forest growth models [PDF]
Ecological Modelling, 1997 Effective model evaluation is not a single, simple procedure, but comprises several interrelated steps that cannot be separated from each other or from the purpose and process of model construction. We draw attention to several statistical and graphical procedures that may assist in model calibration and evaluation, with special emphasis on those ...

Modelling and Comparing Shading Effects of 3D Tree Structures with Virtual Leaves
Remote Sensing, 2021 Reduced solar radiation brought about by trees on agricultural land can both positively and negatively affect crop growth. For a better understanding of this issue, we aim for an improved simulation of the shade cast by trees in agroforestry systems and ...

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 The most common tool to predict future changes in species range are species distribution models. These models do, however, often underestimate potential future habitat, as they do not account for phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation, although being

Measurement of Forest Inventory Parameters with Apple iPad Pro and Integrated LiDAR Technology
Remote Sensing, 2021 The estimation of single tree and complete stand information is one of the central tasks of forest inventory. In recent years, automatic algorithms have been successfully developed for the detection and measurement of trees with laser scanning technology.
