Quantifying Understory Complexity in Unmanaged Forests Using TLS and Identifying Some of Its Major Drivers

Remote Sensing, 2021
The structural complexity of the understory layer of forests or shrub layer vegetation in open shrublands affects many ecosystem functions and services provided by these ecosystems.

Local forest structure variability increases resilience to wildfire in dry western U.S. coniferous forests. [PDF]

, 2020
A 'resilient' forest endures disturbance and is likely to persist. Resilience to wildfire may arise from feedback between fire behaviour and forest structure in dry forest systems.

Integrating forest structural diversity measurement into ecological research

Ecosphere, 2023
The measurement of forest structure has evolved steadily due to advances in technology, methodology, and theory. Such advances have greatly increased our capacity to describe key forest structural elements and resulted in a range of measurement ...

Spatiotemporal changes in biomass after selective logging in a lowland tropical rainforest in peninsular Malaysia [PDF]

, 2021
We studied biomass changes in a lowland tropical rain forest in the Pasoh Forest Reserve of Peninsular Malaysia after selective logging in 1958. A tree census was undertaken every 2 years from 1998 to 2012 in a 6-ha logged forest plot.

Markedly Divergent Tree Assemblage Responses to Tropical Forest Loss and Fragmentation across a Strong Seasonality Gradient [PDF]

, 2015
We examine the effects of forest fragmentation on the structure and composition of tree assemblages within three seasonal and aseasonal forest types of southern Brazil, including evergreen, Araucaria, and deciduous forests.

Sentinel-2 time series analysis for monitoring multi-taxon biodiversity in mountain beech forests

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Biodiversity monitoring represents a major challenge to supporting proper forest ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation. The latter is indeed shifting in recent years from single-species to multi-taxon approaches.

Mapping Mangrove Zonation Changes in Senegal with Landsat Imagery Using an OBIA Approach Combined with Linear Spectral Unmixing

Remote Sensing, 2021
The mangrove areas in Senegal have fluctuated considerably over the last few decades, and it is therefore important to monitor the evolution of forest cover in order to orient and optimise forestry policies. This study presents a method for mapping plant
