Leaf area parameters are crucial in ecosystem studies. As ecophysiological models advance toward finer detail, accurately estimating LA at various scales becomes essential, particularly for diverse units like urban individual trees. Several algorithms based on terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data have been developed to obtain the of However, their use stand level needs further research. In this study, comparative shortest-path algorithm (CSP) is introduced automatic tree segmentation,...
Aboveground biomass (AGB) of shrubs and low-statured trees constitutes a substantial portion the total carbon pool in temperate forest ecosystems, contributing much to local biodiversity, altering tree-regeneration growth rates, determining above- belowground food webs. Accurate quantification AGB at shrub layer is crucial for ecological modeling still remains challenge. Several methods estimating understory biomass, including inventory remote sensing-based methods, need be evaluated against...
