Improving tree volume and biomass estimates 🌳 📐

Morales and MacFarlane develop Real Twig, a method for correcting branch and twig overestimation biases in quantitative structure models.

Read more about the Real Twig validation process for a range of tree species.👇

doi.org/10.1093/fore...
Flowchart of the Real Twig processing steps and an illustration of a Quantitative Structural Model (QSM) for a European ash tree with a single “path” highlighted in black (middle illustration). A path starts at the basal cylinder in the QSM and proceeds to a terminal twig; the number of paths in the tree is equal to the number of twigs. The bottom shows six illustrations of various QSM cylinders.

Drought responses across time and space 🪵📉

Using dendrochronological analyses, Haghshenas and Wood studied changes in wood density of subalpine fir trees to historical drought over a 500 km latitudinal gradient in northern British Columbia, Canada.

🔗 doi.org/10.1093/fore...
A map showing location of sampling sites in subalpine fir (A. lasiocarpa) forests along north-facing slopes of the Rocky Mountains in northern British Columbia. Red circles indicate the five site locations. From the top (highest latitude) to the bottom (lowest latitude), subalpine fir was sampled at Pine Le Moray Provincial Park, Mount Chingee, Mount Averil, Grizzly Den, and McBride Peak sites.

If graded in a class C, the dataset achieved yields of 100% and 90% for C18 and C20. Higher structural quality would be expected for trees closer to the final rotation age.

treecbh: a new R package for crown base height (CBH) detection using aerial laser-scanned data in broad leaved forests 🌳

Diószegi et al. develop a workflow that automates and optimises CBH detection in already segmented individual trees.
