Mensuration of tree growth habits is of considerable importance for understanding forest ecosystem processes and forest biophysical responses to climate changes. However, the complexity of tree crown morphology that is typically formed after many years of growth tends to render it a non-trivial task, even for the state-of-the-art 3D forest mapping technology-light detection and ranging (LiDAR)....

Abstract The aim of the study was to identify influence different widths and cardinal directions felled corridors on condition mensuration characteristics English oak trees planted there during conversion low-value young stands using corridor method. carried out in forests forest-steppe zone at a permanent sample plot. experiment included 8-year-old stand improve its species composition. plots ...

Forestry and forest ecology research potentially lags behind related fields such as ecology, biodiversity, conservation in the employment of open-source software solutions, specifically R programming language. A direct comparison last decade published literature from top 20 forestry journals shows that is utilized over 30% for yet less than 10% literature. Open-source computing environments, R,...
