Premise of the Study Various nondestructive testing technologies have been used for
detecting and visualizing internal defects in urban trees. The results obtained by using …

Deadwood in tropical ecosystems represents an important but poorly studied carbon (C)
pool. Biologically mediated decay of this pool occurs by both saprotrophic microbes and …

An innovative tree defect detection scheme, which combines acoustic-laser technique and
sonic tomography, is studied. A new sensor distribution can be adopted based on the near …

The world's forests sequester and store vast amounts of atmospheric carbon, playing a
crucial role in climate change mitigation. Internal stem decay in living trees results in the …

Stress wave testing has been applied in the nondestructive evaluation of wood for many
years. However, the anisotropy property of wood and the limited number of sensors prevent …

Microwave radar testing of tree trunks is one of the ways for the trunk interior evaluation. The
interpretation of the radar images can be a very complex task-among others due to the …

Currently models used to quantify tree carbon stocks and growth rates do not consider the
unique issues inherent in urban tree growth and management. This research addresses …
