Forest Inventory with Terrestrial LiDAR: A Comparison of Static and Hand-Held Mobile Laser Scanning

  • Sébastien Bauwens,
  • Harm Bartholomeus,
  • Kim Calders and
  • Philippe Lejeune

21 June 2016

The application of static terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) in forest inventories is becoming more effective. Nevertheless, the occlusion effect is still limiting the processing efficiency to extract forest attributes. The use of a mobile laser scanne...

Spatio-Temporal Changes in Structure for a Mediterranean Urban Forest: Santiago, Chile 2002 to 2014

  • Francisco J. Escobedo,
  • Sebastian Palmas-Perez,
  • Cynnamon Dobbs,
  • Salvador Gezan and
  • Jaime Hernandez

11 June 2016

There is little information on how urban forest ecosystems in South America and Mediterranean climates change across both space and time. This study statistically and spatially analyzed the spatio-temporal dynamics of Santiago, Chile’s urban forest u...

Object-Based Tree Species Classification in Urban Ecosystems Using LiDAR and Hyperspectral Data

  • Zhongya Zhang,
  • Alexandra Kazakova,
  • Ludmila Monika Moskal and
  • Diane M. Styers

11 June 2016

In precision forestry, tree species identification is key to evaluating the role of forest ecosystems in the provision of ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration and assessing their effects on climate regulation and climate change. In this s...

How Do Urban Forests Compare? Tree Diversity in Urban and Periurban Forests of the Southeastern US

  • Amy Blood,
  • Gregory Starr,
  • Francisco Escobedo,
  • Art Chappelka and
  • Christina Staudhammer

9 June 2016

There is a need to understand how anthropogenic influences affect urban and periurban forest diversity at the regional scale. This study aims to compare urban and periurban tree composition along a geographic gradient, and test hypotheses about speci...

Fertilization Response, Light Use, and Growth Efficiency in Eucalyptus Plantations across Soil and Climate Gradients in Brazil

  • Renato Meulman Leite Da Silva,
  • Rodrigo Eiji Hakamada,
  • José Henrique Bazani,
  • Marina Shinkai Gentil Otto and
  • José Luiz Stape

31 May 2016

Fertilization increases productivity in Eucalyptus plantations, but losses in productivity associated with soil fertility continue at operational scales. In this study, we evaluated the fertilization response (FR), light use efficiency (LUE) and grow...
