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 ...

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.

Success factors for high-quality oak forest (Quercus robur, Q. petraea) regeneration
Forest Ecosystems, 2019 Background Within the framework of close-to-nature forestry, oak forest (Quercus robur, Q. petraea) regeneration techniques that consider both silvicultural and nature conservation demands have become a very important issue.

Cooperative root graft networks benefit mangrove trees under stress
Communications Biology, 2021 Vovides et al. investigate mangrove trees at a field site in the Gulf of Mexico to determine the effect of stress on root networks. Non-destructive analyses indicate that the probability of non-selective cooperative root grafting increases with higher ...
