Sampling forests with terrestrial laser scanning
Terrestrial laser scanners (TLSs) have successfully captured various properties of individual trees and have potential to further increase the quality and efficiency of forest surveys. However, TLSs are limited to line...

Forest above-ground volume assessments with terrestrial laser scanning: a ground-truth validation experiment in temperate, managed forests
Quantifying the Earth’s forest above-ground biomass (AGB) is indispensable for effective climate action and developing forest policy. Yet, current allometric scaling models (ASMs) to estimate AGB suffer several...
Reconstructing trees from terrestrial laser scans
A new algorithm supports the detailed reconstruction of a variety of trees from a small amount of input data.
Building a better grapevine model
A new perennial fruit crop accurately depicts phenology, light interception, carbohydrate allocation and reserve dynamics, and yield components.
3D model of rhizodeposition
A new model simulates rhizodeposition patterns around growing and exuding root systems.
Flora Incognita shows high identification accuracy in Northern Europe
Plant identification apps are now widely available for smartphones but can we trust them for research and nature conservation purposes?
Improving gene regulatory network models with RNA levels in absolute units
Recalibrating models using absolute – instead of relative - mass units makes it possible to test modelled transcription rates against biochemical data.
Virtual vineyards allow simulation studies of grapevine management practices
Computational models simulate grapevine management and provide information on how this affects canopy light absorption.
Should you plant your tomato rows oriented north to south or east to west?
A new study challenges the conventional wisdom of row orientation.
Resolving interactions between plant structure and function
A new study reveals the impact of spatial resolution on accurately representing the interactions between plant canopy structure and function.
How will plant communities respond to climate change?
Functional-structural plant modelling is the key to predicting how plant communities will respond to climate change.
Predicting rice yield under drought
Integrated growth and metabolic models predict the metabolism of rice growth under normal and water-limited conditions.
