Logistic regression equations of prescribed fire mortality were developed for white fir (Abies concolor [Gord. and Glend.] Lindl.), sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana Dougl.), ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.), incense-cedar (Calocedrus decurrens [Torr.] Floren.), and giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum [Lindley] Buchholz) in the southern Sierra Nevada, California. A total of 1025 trees wer...

As we all know; trees are the true assets of urban areas and they also part our community's infrastructure. Thus, require care maintenance same as other public properties in cities. Trees may cause personal injury or property damage without proper care. The aim this study was to design a web application for Necip fazil Kisakurek Park, located district Onikisubat, Kahramanmaras, Turkey. This con...

One problem of individual tree detection on aerial images or on raster canopy height models is handling of tree crowns of different sizes. On laser scanner data one size attribute, height, is directly available. This gives possibilities to develop processing methods that adapt to the object size. In this study, three adaptive methods were developed and tested for individual tree detection on ca...

Urban forest carbon sequestration represents an important component of the global pool; however, accurate measurements are limited by inability existing field stand models to match specificity urban greening species. Herein, canopy volume, stock, and biomass expansion factor (BEF) 30 Koelreuteria paniculate trees were measured based on terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) compared results wood volu...

We tested the effects of growth characteristics and basic density on hydraulic and mechanical properties of mature Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) wood from six 24-year-old clones, grown on two sites in southern Sweden differing in water availability. Hydraulic parameters assessed were specific hydraulic conductivity at full saturation (ks100) and vulnerability to cavitation (Psi50), me...

Hurricane winds can have large impacts on forest structure and dynamics. To date, most evaluations of hurricane impacts have focused on short-term responses after a hurricane, often lacked pre-hurricane measurements, and missed responses occurring over longer time scales. Here, we use a long-term data set (1974–2009, 35 years) of tree stems (.3 cm in diameter at 1.3 m aboveground) in four sites...
