This study assesses the long-term impact of tree coring on growth and mortality across 16 European species, finding no detrimental growth effects but uncertain mortality impacts.

The paper evaluates allometric equations for mangrove biomass using TLS, finding significant underestimation of large trees' biomass and highlighting the need for improved carbon accounting.

This study assesses factors influencing tree drought resilience using tree ring data from 2909 trees across Europe, finding limited predictability in drought responses.

This study compares enrichment tree planting and liana cutting for tropical forest restoration, finding liana cutting accelerates canopy height recovery more rapidly and cheaply.

Across 109,626 wood density records from 16,829 plant species (GWDD v.2), intraspecific variation explains 15% of global variance, tracks interspecific environmental gradients at 20-30% magnitude, and limits single-plant predictability.

This study examines how competition, precipitation, and temperature influence crown allometry in miombo woodlands, finding deviations from theoretical scaling laws and providing improved biomass estimation tools.

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 creates a high-resolution global map of wood density using species and vegetation data, showing improved accuracy and a wider density range than previous estimates.

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

The paper tracks tree growth, crown expansion, and mortality over nine years using remote sensing in Western Australia, finding size, competition, and topography influence demographic rates.

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