Monitoring forest health typically relies on remote sensing tools such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR), radar, and ...

Scientists have studied competitive growth among trees and their interaction within the forest canopy layer for years. Determining which species of trees are overtopping and/or crowding out other ...

They found that sensing depth shifts across growth stages, with middle leaves contributing most to reflectance and near-infrared signals most sensitive to planting density. The team also developed a ...

Ozone pollution in the lower atmosphere is known to have adverse effects on forest vegetation, but the degree to which mature forests are impacted has been very difficult to assess directly. In this ...
