Very excited to share our latest study (from @qforestlab.bsky.social ) "Quantifying forest structural attributes and aboveground carbon dynamics with terrestrial laser scanning in a temperate deciduous forest" online now (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...) Many thanks to all co-authors!

New paper by Wout Cherlet & @qforestlab.bsky.social team led by @kimcalders.bsky.social, comparing tree extraction methods from TLS data. TL;DR it's hard to automate, ecosystem dependent & parametric approaches currently outperform DL www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

An ancient yew tree in Scotland that is half the age of the Holocene has caught our attention. What a privilege to be in the presence of one of the oldest trees in Europe. @ymalhi.bsky.social explains the significance of this giant. @naturerecovery.bsky.social @ecioxford.bsky.social

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....

Our new perspective on the use (& misuse) of what we're calling virtual forests (rather than digital twins!), for forest change from space, led by @kimcalders.bsky.social w many great colleagues 🔭 🧪🔬 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Job Alert - Come work with us at @qforestlab.bsky.social! I'm hiring a postdoctoral fellow in vegetation remote sensing and radiative transfer to work on my @erc.europa.eu SPACETWIN project (spacetwin.ugent.be). More info ➡️ www.ugent.be/en/work/scie... Deadline: March 7

We are currently in Patagonia for our @ercresearch.bsky.social project #SPACETWIN, looking at the impact of caterpillar (Ormiscodes amphimone) disturbance on the Nothofagus forests. This is a @qforestlab.bsky.social collaboration with the team of Roberto O. Chávez from PUCV in Valparaíso [1/4]

We are collecting terrestrial laser scanning data, spectral measurements of leaves, bark and understory and multispectral drone data. Not too much is known about these forests and these field measurements will result into a better understanding of these ecosystems. [3/4]

Later this month, we will move to sector Jeinimeni, where there is currently a large outbreak ongoing – completely defoliating trees. Video from earlier this week [4/4]

@qforestlab.bsky.social There are so many leaf-wood separation algorithms, don't know how to choose? Our latest work (from @qforestlab.bsky.social ) has addressed this issue by providing a robust evaluation framework. Interested? please check our paper: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kKNW7qzT3...

New paper by Shilin Chen @qforestlab.bsky.social in RSE on the impact different leaf removal has on biomass estimates from TLS www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Wouter & Wout from @qforestlab.bsky.social are currently collecting TLS data at the Caxiuanã through-fall exclusion (TFE) experiment for our #ERC SPACETWIN working with our Brazilian collaborators and Patrick Meir. Continuing the TLS time-series that was initiated by @matdisney.bsky.social [1/2]
