Growth and yield models in forest management planning are used to project future forest
conditions and estimate quantities such as wood volume and biomass. These models are …

Habitat fragmentation could potentially affect tree architecture and allometry. Here, we use
ground surveys of terrestrial LiDAR in Central Amazonia to explore the influence of forest …

The ability of remote sensing to accurately quantify live aboveground biomass (AGB) varies
by ecosystem. Given their important role in global carbon dynamics, deriving accurate …

Measuring and modelling the shape of tree stems is a fundamental component of forest
inventory systems for both commercial and biological purposes. The change in diameter of …

Societal Impact Statement Free‐air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments provide essential
data on forest responses to increasing atmospheric CO2 for evaluations of climate change …

Forest biomass is a critical component of the terrestrial carbon cycle. The highest-biomass
forests are those dominated by the tallest species, Sequoia sempervirens. We use ground …

Using various biomass factors, such as biomass expansion factor (BEF) and biomass
conversion and expansion factor (BCEF), yields different results for estimating forest …

The quantification of urban tree biomass allocation has primarily relied on estimations using
allometric equations (AEs) developed for nondestructive harvest methods. However, the lack …

Quantitative structure models (QSMs) are topological ordered cylinder models of trees which
cover the complete branching structure from the stem's base up to all tips. But the thin …

We invent here in this manuscript new tree describing parameters which can be derived
from a QSM. QSMs are topological ordered cylinder models of trees which describe the …
