Consistent crown phenology, not functional traits, predicts whether tropical trees can be mapped from imaging spectroscopy

The paper finds that consistent crown phenology, not functional traits, is the key factor determining whether tropical tree species can be accurately mapped using imaging spectroscopy.

Trait diversity enhances biomass gains via canopy packing in old-growth but not in disturbed Amazon forests.

The study shows that trait diversity enhances biomass gains via canopy packing in old-growth Amazon forests but not in disturbed ones, due to reduced structural complexity after logging.

Monitoring tropical forests with light drones: ensuring spatial and temporal consistency in stereophotogrammetric products

The paper describes a drone-based photogrammetric method to monitor tropical forests with high spatial and temporal consistency, using Time-SIFT and Arosics algorithms to improve alignment and vegetation analysis.

Robust characterization of forest structure from airborne laser scanning - a systematic assessment and sample workflow for ecologists

This paper assesses the robustness of canopy height model algorithms using ALS data and provides guidelines for creating reliable CHMs for ecological studies.

Advances and limits of species-level canopy mapping in a hyperdiverse tropical forest: multi-temporal crown segmentation and airborne imaging spectroscopy

This study evaluates species-level canopy mapping in a hyperdiverse tropical forest using multi-temporal crown segmentation and airborne hyperspectral data, finding 70% canopy area correctly mapped to species.

Low-frequency somatic mutations are heritable in tropical trees Dicorynia guianensis and Sextonia rubra

The paper identifies low-frequency somatic mutations in two tropical tree species and shows they can be heritable despite not following expected branching patterns or UV exposure effects.
