Trees have immeasurable societal benefits. They provide wood, absorb carbon dioxide, and shelter animals and insects, but also provide shade and space for people to relax. Although forests have been ...

Individual tree growth modelling lies at the heart of understanding forest dynamics, carbon sequestration and sustainable management. By quantifying how single trees allocate resources to height, ...

Tree-based statistical models offer a flexible, data-driven approach to analysing repeated measurements collected over time. By partitioning subjects into subgroups with distinct trajectories or ...

The Irish philosopher George Berkely, best known for his theory of immaterialism, once famously mused, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" What about ...

The effects of a phenomenon called tree masting on ecosystems and food webs can be better understood thanks to new theoretical models validated by real world observations. The effects of a phenomenon ...

Trees play an essential role in regulating ecosystems, maintaining biodiversity, and mitigating climate change. Precise 3D models allow scientists to calculate fundamental parameters such as diameter ...
