Enhancing wall-to-wall forest structure mapping through detailed co-registration of airborne and terrestrial laser scanning data in Mediterranean forests
Mostra abstract
This paper presents a new co-registration procedure of complementary point clouds captured by both Terrestrial (TLS) and Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) technologies. Starting from the geographic position of the TLS point cloud, a geometric features recognition algorithm, which evaluates digital terrain models obtained from both ALS and TLS, was developed and implemented in a new GIS software (ForeSight®). As a case study, we tested this new approach using point clouds acquired from both hand-held mobile TLS and ALS sensors over 24 test sites located in a protected area in southern Italy, with the ultimate goal of characterizing the different forest stand structures. From each aligned point cloud, a plot-level spatially explicit index (Enhanced Structural Spatial Index, ESCI) was derived to assess the three-dimensional structure of the considered forest stands. Then, we compared structural features derived from the ESCI index with different computed ALS metrics. Finally, the most correlated ALS metrics were used as predictors to produce an ESCI-map of the entire region of interest. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.

Mostra abstract
Significant gaps remain in understanding the response of plant reproduction to environmental change. This is partly because measuring reproduction in long-lived plants requires direct observation over many years and such datasets have rarely been made publicly available. Here we introduce MASTREE+, a data set that collates reproductive time-series data from across the globe and makes these data freely available to the community. MASTREE+ includes 73,828 georeferenced observations of annual reproduction (e.g. seed and fruit counts) in perennial plant populations worldwide. These observations consist of 5971 population-level time-series from 974 species in 66 countries. The mean and median time-series length is 12.4 and 10 years respectively, and the data set includes 1122 series that extend over at least two decades (≥20 years of observations). For a subset of well-studied species, MASTREE+ includes extensive replication of time-series across geographical and climatic gradients. Here we describe the open-access data set, available as a.csv file, and we introduce an associated web-based app for data exploration. MASTREE+ will provide the basis for improved understanding of the response of long-lived plant reproduction to environmental change. Additionally, MASTREE+ will enable investigation of the ecology and evolution of reproductive strategies in perennial plants, and the role of plant reproduction as a driver of ecosystem dynamics. © 2022 The Authors.
