We are pleased to share that our joint study with biologists from various institutions lead by Lena Carlson has been accepted for publication in Landscape Ecology.
The work contributes to ongoing efforts to better understand forest structure and its role in shaping ecological processes. With recent advances in LiDAR remote sensing – particularly from uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) – it has become increasingly possible to capture forests in three dimensions and at high spatial resolution. Such perspectives are essential for improving how we describe and analyse ecosystem complexity.
In this study, we contributed UAS-based LiDAR data, helping to provide a more detailed representation of forest structure. These data support bridging the gap between field-based observations and broader-scale remote sensing approaches.
The LiDAR research is conducted by our colleagues Dr. Mirjana Bevanda, Dr. Jakob Schwalb-Willmann, Antonio Castaneda–Gomez, and Luisa Pflumm, whose work formed a important component of the study.
We are grateful for the collaboration and look forward to further analysis and publications that reflect the interdisciplinary shared effort to improve our understanding of forest ecosystems.
