The shape of trees: Reimagining forest ecology in three dimensions with remote sensing
How ecologists think about above‐ground forest structure and dynamics is fundamentally
shaped by the data we can collect. This has historically been limited to what is possible with …

Terrestrial Li DAR: a three‐dimensional revolution in how we look at trees
M Disney - New Phytologist, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is providing new, very detailed three‐dimensional (3D)
measurements of forest canopy structure. The information that TLS measurements can …

Deciphering the fingerprint of disturbance on the three‐dimensional structure of the world's forests
T Jucker - New Phytologist, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Canopy gaps and the processes that generate them play an integral role in shaping the
structure and dynamics of forests. However, it is only with recent advances in remote …

Predicting coral community recovery using multi‐species population dynamics models
Predicting whether, how, and to what degree communities recover from disturbance remain
major challenges in ecology. To predict recovery of coral communities we applied field …

Tallo: A global tree allometry and crown architecture database
Data capturing multiple axes of tree size and shape, such as a tree's stem diameter, height
and crown size, underpin a wide range of ecological research—from developing and testing …

Improving plant allometry by fusing forest models and remote sensing
Allometry determines how tree shape and function scale with each other, related through
size. Allometric relationships help scale processes from the individual to the global scale …

Competitive drivers of interspecific deviations of crown morphology from theoretical predictions measured with Terrestrial Laser Scanning
Tree crown morphology is a key driver of forest dynamics, determining not only the
competitiveness of an individual but also the competitive effect exerted on neighbouring …
