Integrating terrestrial and canopy laser scanning for comprehensive analysis of large old trees: Implications for single tree and biodiversity research Canopy laser scanning (CLS) enhances 3D measurements of large trees by lifting laser scanners into the canopy. Combining CLS with terrestrial laser scanning improves point cloud precision, reduces oc...

I like big trees and I cannot lie. Great bit of work by @kimcalders.bsky.social @louiseterryn.bsky.social and colleagues using innovative climbing and scanning approach. Stunning illustration of tree structural and biodiversity complexity zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

ForestScan: a unique multiscale dataset of tropical forest structure across 3 continents including terrestrial, UAV and airborne LiDAR and in-situ forest census data Abstract. The ForestScan project was conceived to evaluate new technologies for characterising forest structure and biomass at Forest Biomass Reference Measurement Sites (FBRMS). It is closely aligned...

🚀Super proud of our ForestScan x ESA paper supporting BIOMASS cal/val! Huge dataset: TLS, UAV, ALS + tree census, on CEDA. Includes protocol recs & FBRMS site guidance. A benchmark for EO data sharing! 📡🌳 Preprint: essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es... #UCLGeog #OpenScience #LiDAR #BIOMASS #ForestScan
