Comparison between Artificial and Human Estimates in Urban Tree Canopy Assessments

open access: yesLand, 2022
Urban tree canopy (UTC) is commonly used to assess urban forest extent and has traditionally been estimated using photointerpretation and human intelligence (HI).

The Legacy of Hurricanes, Historic Land Cover, and Municipal Ordinances on Urban Tree Canopy in Florida (United States)

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Urban Tree Canopy (UTC) greatly enhances the livability of cities by reducing urban heat buildup, mitigating stormwater runoff, and filtering airborne particulates, among other ecological services.

Tree Canopies Reflect Mycorrhizal Composition

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
AbstractMycorrhizae alter global patterns of CO2 fertilization, carbon storage, and elemental cycling, yet knowledge of their global distributions is currently limited by the availability of forest inventory data. Here, we show that maps of tree‐mycorrhizal associations (hereafter “mycorrhizal maps”) can be improved by the novel technology of imaging ...

Roles of horizontal and vertical tree canopy structure in mitigating daytime and nighttime urban heat island effects

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2020
The urban heat island (UHI) is increasingly recognized as a serious, worldwide problem because of urbanization and climate change. Urban vegetation is capable of alleviating UHI and improving urban environment by shading together with evapotranspiration.

Utilizing LiDAR data to map tree canopy for urban ecosystem extent and condition accounts in Oslo

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
LiDAR-based segmentation of urban tree canopies and their physical properties (canopy height, canopy diameter, 3D surface and volume) is a replicable, complementary and useful information source for urban ecosystem condition accounts, and an important ...

Tree Death Not Resulting in Gap Creation: An Investigation of Canopy Dynamics of Northern Temperate Deciduous Forests

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Several decades of research have shown that canopy gaps drive tree renewal processes in the temperate deciduous forest biome. In the literature, canopy gaps are usually defined as canopy openings that are created by partial or total tree death of one or ...

Vision-based normalized canopy area estimation for variable nitrogen application in apple orchards

open access: yesSmart Agricultural Technology, 2023
Normalized canopy area is a measure of spatial canopy fill or canopy coverage in a tree. It is an important factor for growers to consider in making various farming decisions, such as timing and amount of fertilization, pesticide application, and ...
