Influence of bark beetle infestation on stem diameter dynamics
Bark beetle epidemics have increased globally due to drought and a warming climate, impairing forest ecosystem services by inducing severe forest disturbances. Bark beetle infestation monitoring is urgently needed for pre-emptive forest management. However, we have a lack of thorough understanding of the physiological responses that occur on trees after a bark beetle infestation. More specifically, we need insights into how quickly trees decline …
Capturing trends in forest structural complexity development using laser scanning techniques
Forest structural complexity reflects realized niche occupancy, capturing how effectively the vegetation utilizes available resources and provides habitats for species. This makes it a key indicator of forest ecosystem diversity, and an important characteristic to be monitored to facilitate sustainable forest management and conservation planning. Laser scanning has been recognized as a feasible technology for the characterization of heterogeneity…
Tree height and stem growth dynamics in a Scots pine dominated boreal forest
Tree growth is key forest ecosystem service and essential for carbon sequestration and biomass production. However, the intra-seasonal dynamics of tree height and stem diameter growth have been difficult to measure hampering the understanding of the interplay between these processes. Here, we investigated the feasibility of a laser scanning system in monitoring tree height dynamics, aiming to study how tree height and stem diameter growth dynamic…
Multisensorial Close-Range Sensing Generates Benefits for Characterization of Managed Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) Stands
Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) provides a detailed three-dimensional representation of surrounding forest structures. However, due to close-range hemispherical scanning geometry, the ability of TLS technique to comprehensively characterize all trees, and especially upper parts of forest canopy, is often limited. In this study, we investigated how much forest characterization capacity can be improved in managed Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) s…
