This paper introduces a coding-free AI method for improving leaf area index (LAI) calculation from hemispherical images, showing higher consistency and reliability compared to existing tools.

The paper analyzes linearity in carbon cascade responses across 16 terrestrial biosphere models under elevated CO2, finding varied non-linear behaviors but overall linear ensemble behavior.

The paper introduces the Global Canopy Atlas, a harmonized dataset of 3D canopy structure from ALS data, and demonstrates its applications in validating satellite maps, analyzing canopy gap patterns, and quantifying forest turnover.

The paper assesses plant functional composition in temperate forests across a latitudinal gradient in South America, identifying key environmental drivers and highlighting regions with high functional resilience.

The paper analyzes global tree crown architecture to identify factors driving diversity in height, crown size, and shape across species.

The paper investigates why models underestimate West African tropical forest productivity and finds that using local field measurements improves model accuracy.

The paper tests the WBE model of metabolic scaling in trees using laser-scanned data, finding support for [3/4] scaling across tree crowns and intraspecific variation.

This study uses terrestrial laser scanning to measure tree surface areas, finding discrepancies between direct measurements and theoretical predictions, suggesting the need to revise allometric models.

The study examines how individual species respond to tropical forest degradation, finding significant variation in responses across populations and surveys.
