recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"

DOI: 10.1002/2017jd027904

Abstract: An improved understanding of atmospheric perturbations within and above a forest during a wildland fire has relevance to many aspects of wildland fires including fire spread, smoke transport and dispersion, and tree mortality. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1145

Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY Nonvascular plants play important roles in exchange of water and heat at the soil-atmosphere interface. Differential evaporative cooling may cause temperature gradients within bryophyte canopies, influencing convective heat and mass transport.… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecosphere"

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70443

Abstract: Disturbances modify the three‐dimensional (3D) physical structure of forest canopies, which cascades to influence numerous ecosystem functions. The capacity to model the structural outcomes of disturbance may aid in predicting ecosystem functional responses, especially for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rse2.431

Abstract: Secondary forests in the Amazon are important carbon sinks, biodiversity reservoirs, and connections between forest fragments. However, their regrowth is highly threatened by fire. Using airborne laser scanning (ALS), surveyed between 2016 and 2018, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2019.02.006

Abstract: Abstract Land surface models generally use a “mosaic” approach to represent subgrid variation in canopy structure within a given land cell in two ways: one is based on vegetation cover types (VCT) (e.g., biomes or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118100

Abstract: Highlights • Understory composition was the best correlated with structural forest canopy measures.• Tree canopy LAI and the fractional cover of understory were strongly related. read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "International Journal of Wildland Fire"

DOI: 10.1071/wf16159

Abstract: The extent to which prescribed fires affect forest structure and habitats of vertebrate species is an important question for land managers tasked with balancing potentially conflicting objectives of vegetation and wildlife management. Many insectivorous bats… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2023 at "Environmental Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/acceb6

Abstract: Most tundra carbon flux modeling relies on leaf area index (LAI), generally estimated from measurements of canopy greenness using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), to estimate the direction and magnitude of fluxes. However, due… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvaf038

Abstract: Increasing sustainable productive activities to provide food, fiber, and energy is a global necessity for an increasingly populated planet. However, managing productive landscapes requires integrative approaches in which changes in diversity, microhabitat effects and managing… read more here.
