Many indices can be used to describe the structural characteristics of tree populations at the
forest stand scale. However, each of these indices can only express the whole or unilateral …

The estimation and monitoring of 3D forest structure at large scales strongly rely on the use
of remote sensing techniques. Today, two of them are able to provide 3D forest structure …

Over the past fifty years, societies have placed increasing demands on forests, and their use
has shifted gradually from wood production to the diversified benefits and functions of …

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing configurations are able to provide
continuous measurements on global scales sensitive to the vertical structure of forests with a …

This paper presents a review of the most common methods in ecological studies aimed at
spatial analysis of population structures (horizontal and vertical), based on point process …

ABSTRACT The Arasbaran Protected Area of northern Iran encompasses 160,000 ha of
deciduous, broad-leaved forest with 78,560 ha recently designated as a United Nations …

The selection of harvested trees is key to the success of near-natural forest management, yet
few people have focused on the structural characteristics of harvested woods. Here, we …

El presente estudio evaluó el efecto de tratamientos silvícolas en la diversidad y estructura
de especies en ecosistemas forestales de clima templado en el Municipio de Pueblo Nuevo …

Comprehensive description and quantification of stand structure is needed for managing or
maintaining forests as complex systems. The tree position and diameter based structural …

Forest trees exhibit a large variation in the basal area increment (BAI), and the variation is
attributed to the stand density, biodiversity, and stand spatial structure. Studying and …
