Modelling Stem Damage
Our most recent academic publication, titled "Modelling internal stem damage in savanna trees: Error in aboveground biomass with terrestrial laser scanning and allometry" has been published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution. See this link access the full article.
We show that terrestrial laser scanning is a highly accurate tool for assessing tree above-ground biomass, but that large amounts of hollowing can result in biomass overestimation. This article provides valuable information for forest managers using LiDAR to assess biomass.
LiDAR quantification — the future of forest mapping
Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning enables forests to be measured, monitored and assessed in previously unseen ways.
This new frontier in data collection has far-reaching implications for academia and research potential.
