DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcx215
Abstract: Background Tree stem diameters and electrical stem potentials exhibit rhythmic variations with periodicities of 24-25 h. Under free-running conditions of constant light or darkness these rhythms were suggested to be mediated by the lunisolar gravitational… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/forsci/fxaa021
Abstract: Accurate and frequently updated tree volume estimates are required for poplar plantations, which are characterized by fast growth rate and short rotation. In this study, we tested the potential of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jofore/fvaa036
Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the robustness of parametric and nonparametric procedures using alternative definitions of validation data for loblolly pine. Specifically, four data division strategies were implemented: random selection of one-third of the trees… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f14061102
Abstract: A function from the domain (x-set) to the codomain (y-set) connects each x element to precisely one y element. Since each x-point originating from the domain corresponds to two y-points on the graph of a… read more here.
