TL;DR: The development of applications like lidR are of fundamental importance for developing transparent, flexible and open ALS tools to ensure not only reproducible workflows, but also to offer researchers the creative space required for the progress and development of the discipline.

TL;DR: In the last three decades, over 4.1 million hectares have burned in Arizona and New Mexico and the largest fires in documented history have occurred in the past two decades as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a management framework based on a synthesis of science on forest ecology and management, reference conditions, and lessons learned during implementations of the restoration framework is presented to improve the resiliency of frequent-fire forests and facilitate the resumption of characteristic ecosystem processes and functions by restoring the composition, structure, and spatial patterns of vegetation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed two decision tree classification approaches to map crop types across the conterminous United States using MODIS 250m resolution data: 1) generalized, and 2) year-specific classification.

TL;DR: Ponderosa pines are re-establishing with heterogeneous spatial patterns in large high-severity burn patches, but often with low densities, suggesting these heterogeneous patches could be more resilient to climate change and severe wildfires than the overly-dense ponderosa pine forests that were present before the wildfires.
