The advent and recent advances of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) have enabled
accurate measurement of 3D ecosystem structure. Here, we review insights gained through …

Many biologists, ecologists, and conservationists are interested in the possibilities that
remote sensing offers for their daily work and study site analyses as well as for the …

Land use and related pressures have reduced local terrestrial biodiversity, but it is unclear
how the magnitude of change relates to the recently proposed planetary boundary (“safe …

Land-use and climate change are among the greatest threats facing biodiversity, but
understanding their combined effects has been hampered by modelling and data limitations …

Human activities, especially conversion and degradation of habitats, are causing global
biodiversity declines. How local ecological assemblages are responding is less clear—a …

Ecosystem structure, especially vertical vegetation structure, is one of the six essential
biodiversity variable classes and is an important aspect of habitat heterogeneity, affecting …

Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as
habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global …

Vast areas of the earth's land surface have been altered by human activities such as
clearing native vegetation for agriculture and livestock grazing, logging of natural forests …

Habitat structure is important in explaining species diversity patterns for many animal
groups. If we could map habitat structure over large spatial scales, we could use habitat …
