Scanning forests with lasers can provide three-dimensional models of forests, creating a unique way to look at these ...

Climatic stress events, such as extreme temperatures and prolonged droughts, are increasingly affecting tree growth and phenology—the timing of developmental stages like leaf burst and senescence. To ...

If you're concerned about deforestation, you likely blue-bin the no-longer-needed sheets of paper that have been run through your printer. You should keep in mind, however, that even though the ...

Suppose you could weigh every tree on Earth. The information would fill in the last big data gap in climate modeling — the carbon volume on land. It would make for more precise predictions, from sea ...

Researchers have used cutting-edge laser sensors to count the number of trees in China and mapped their distribution across the country. A new estimate from this study suggests that there are about ...

A terrestrial laser scanning technique that allows the structure of vegetation to be 3D-mapped to the millimetre is more accurate in determining the biomass of trees and carbon stocks in forests than ...

Laser technology has been used to measure the volume and biomass of giant Californian redwood trees for the first time, records a new study. Laser technology has been used to measure the volume and ...
