Forests play a crucial role in promoting health and wellbeing, but not all forests provide the same benefits. A large-scale study demonstrates how specific forest characteristics -- such as canopy ...

Quantifying forest structure parameters, such as canopy height, canopy cover, and tree density are essential to understanding forest ecosystem functions. Measuring these, on the other hand ...

He uses mechanistic models — essentially computer simulations — to explore how large animals impact ecosystems, and how things like forest structure and nutrient distribution would change if ...

In the research group Forest Structure and Dynamics, we study both managed and natural forests and in a scale, ranging from local to global. We are particularly interested in tree sizes, growth, ...

In addition, species distribution and forest structure are key parameters for estimating wood reserves and calculating carbon sequestration in forests. Forest vitality is also closely connected with ...

The authors use data collected by the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) instrument on the International Space Station to assess the forest structure – such as canopy height and ...
