Assessment of Stem Volume on Plots Using Terrestrial Laser Scanner: A Precision Forestry Application

Dimitrios Panagiotidis et al.

Summary: This study compared two different methods for accurate estimation of tree heights and diameters, and evaluated their accuracy in assessing total tree stem volume. Results showed a strong relationship between the measured and estimated stem volumes, indicating the feasibility of using fine-resolution remote sensing data for precise forestry.

Regional Modeling of Forest Fuels and Structural Attributes Using Airborne Laser Scanning Data in Oregon

Francisco Mauro et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the use of airborne laser scanning (ALS) data in developing regional strategies and creating multiple forest attribute maps. Results show that semiparametric models perform better than parametric models without calibration, while calibration reduces bias for parametric models. Using semiparametric models and rasterized predictors is justified for rapid results with minimal loss in accuracy or precision, even without calibration.

Airborne lidar provides reliable estimates of canopy base height and canopy bulk density in southwestern ponderosa pine forests

Caden P. Chamberlain et al.

Summary: Accurate estimates of canopy base height (CBH) and canopy bulk density (CBD) are crucial for fire modeling. This study developed a method using airborne lidar data for estimating CBH and CBD, showing that airborne lidar produced more accurate estimates compared to traditional methods. The study also found that airborne lidar is more accurate at estimating CBH in unmanaged stands, while CBD estimates maintain similar accuracy regardless of management history.

Forest fire fuel through the lens of remote sensing: Review of approaches, challenges and future directions in the remote sensing of biotic determinants of fire behaviour

Matthew G. Gale et al.

Summary: Forest environments are prone to large and intense unplanned fires due to the substantial quantity and complex structure of fuel. Remote sensing offers advantages in providing comprehensive fuel information for land management. However, recent research shows a disconnect between remote sensing techniques and crucial fuel attributes that impact fire behavior, with a focus on overstorey fuel and a lack of research on understorey, surface, and bark fuel components. Future advancements in remote sensing technology and research are expected to address these limitations and improve forest fuel estimation.

Detecting the effects of logging and wildfire on forest fuel structure using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS)

Nicholas Wilson et al.

Summary: Recent logging and wildfires have been associated with increased fire severity in forests globally. The vertical fuel connectivity, especially in disturbed forests, is often cited as a possible cause for this. The study found that canopy recovery after wildfire differs in resprouting and non-resprouting Eucalypt forests, with implications for fire severity.

LiDAR Applications to Estimate Forest Biomass at Individual Tree Scale: Opportunities, Challenges and Future Perspectives

Dandan Xu et al.

Summary: Accurate estimation of individual tree forest biomass is crucial for timber industry and forest management. Remotely sensed images are widely used for forest biomass monitoring at global, ecoregion or community scales. Despite slow development, improvements in platforms and technology have demonstrated the potential for estimating biomass at the single tree level.
