TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an interdisciplinary focus to explore current developments in terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) to measure and monitor forest structure, and argue that TLS data will play a critical role in understanding fundamental ecological questions about tree size and shape, allometric scaling, metabolic function and plasticity of form.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the potential of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) for tree species classification and found that TLS opens up potential for testing and further development of ecological theory.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed to combine TLS and UAV-LS data from dense tropical forest plots to analyse how this fusion can further advance 3D structural mapping of structurally complex forests.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated how TLS and UAV-LS can be used for this purpose by testing different modelling strategies with data availability and modelling framework requirements, and concluded that TLS is the best available, non-destructive estimate of AGB.

TL;DR: The authors quantified the impacts of integrating structural observations of individual trees (namely tree height, leaf area, woody biomass, and crown area) derived from TLS into the state-of-the-art Ecosystem Demography model (ED2.2) at a temperate forest site.
