Individual tree detection (ITD) and crown delineation are two of the most relevant methods
for extracting detailed and reliable forest information from LiDAR (Light Detection and …

The installation of research or permanent plots is a very common task in growth and forest
yield research. At young ages, tree height is the most commonly measured variable, so the …

Silvicultural activities employed during stand development are used to manage the
distribution of site resources (light, water and nutrients) to the trees within the stand …

Forest inventory and monitoring is indispensable for coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) forest
plantation owners as it allows them in assessing tree growth, fruit production rates and …

Digital aerial photogrammetry (DAP) data acquired by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)
have been increasingly used for forest inventory and monitoring. In this study, we evaluated …

Higher tree size heterogeneity in forests has been linked to lower productivity, especially in
monocultures. Thinning the stand can directly manipulate tree size variability, thereby …

Studies show that homogeneity among trees interferes with stand productivity, however, this
information has not been incorporated into stand-level growth and yield models to assist …

Stand structure can have a considerable influence on forest growth and productivity. A
stand's response to factors like temperature, precipitation, vapor pressure deficit and …

Coppice-rotation stands comprise 20 to 30% of the Eucalyptus forests in Brazil and
understanding the factors influencing the production ecology of the coppice-rotation is …

Competition for resources among trees, shrubs and weeds in forest plantations is an
important factor that directly interferes with the growth and production of forests …
