A new study published in Nature Communications has found that 17.31% of tropical tree cover—an area spanning 395.9 million ...

In a recent study published in New Phytologist, researchers at Michigan State University have uncovered how Amazon rainforest canopy trees manage the intense sunlight they absorb—revealing ...

Individual tree crown detection and delineation (ITCD) mainly depend on high-resolution aerial photos and satellite images or LiDAR, and these data can be costly to obtain. The advent of unmanned ...

If you liked this story, share it with other people. Scientists have used high-resolution satellite images to create a map of global canopy heights, and to also develop an AI model that can ...

The images had a resolution of 50 centimeters, allowing for the identification of individual trees. Researchers then used an artificial intelligence algorithm to count trees in the images.

Nonetheless, high-resolution NWP simulations over large domains presently require a large amount of computational resources. Diagnostic wind models (DWMs) deliver high-resolution wind fields over ...

Success in Yosemite is driving the wider use of lidar surveys to support forest health and wildfire resilience, study wildlife habitats, and monitor water resources.

Using high-resolution satellite data and machine-learning techniques at supercomputing facilities, we have now been able to map billions of individual trees and shrubs in West Africa.

A precise record of the last major reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles can be found in ancient trees. Researchers say this event 42,000 years ago had a huge impact on the planet and ancient humans.
