Terrestrial Laser Scanning to Detect Liana Impact on Forest Structure [PDF]
, 2018 Tropical forests are currently experiencing large-scale structural changes, including an increase in liana abundance and biomass. Higher liana abundance results in reduced tree growth and increased tree mortality, possibly playing an important role in ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study develops sustainable MgO–C refractories using recycled materials and eco‐friendly fructose–tannin binders. The enhanced performance of citric acid as a cross‐linker and functional additives on mechanical and thermomechanical properties was examined. Characterization included strength tests, immersion trials, and microstructural and inclusion

Estimating Ladder Fuels: A New Approach Combining Field Photography with LiDAR
Remote Sensing, 2016 Forests historically associated with frequent fire have changed dramatically due to fire suppression and past harvesting over the last century. The buildup of ladder fuels, which carry fire from the surface of the forest floor to tree crowns, is one of ...

Urban, Forest, and Agricultural AIS Data: Fine Spectral Structure [PDF]
, 1985 Spectra acquired by the Airborne Imaging Spectrometer (AIS) near Lafayette, IN, Ely, MN, and over the Stanford University campus, CA were analyzed for fine spectral structure using two techniques: the ratio of radiance of a ground target to the radiance ...
