National Forest Inventories : pathways for common reporting

TL;DR: The results showed that even quite small changes in the more common variables, such as land cover types and more common plant species, can be detected on the national scale, however, on the regional scale, or for lessCommon variables, changes will be more difficult to detect.

L’expansion séculaire des forêts françaises est dominée par l’accroissement du stock sur pied et ne sature pas dans le temps

Anaïs Denardou, +5 more

TL;DR: In this paper, the forêt française présente par ailleurs une des expansions les plus marquées d’Europe (Forest Europe, 2015), avec un accroissement du stock de two fois plus rapide qu’en surface (+ 0,65 %/an en France entre 1990 et 2015 for les surfaces contre + 1,3 %/a for le stock, which atteint actuellement 2 600 millions de m3 ; IGN, 2016).

Global and Planetary Change

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified how climate limits forest structures over large landscapes and better quantified the potential upper limit that a forest structure can achieve independent of management, which can deepen our understanding of the impact climate change has had and will have on our forest resources and services.

Estimation of Canopy Structure and Individual Trees from Laser Scanning Data

Eva Lindberg

TL;DR: In this article, tree positions and stem diameters were estimated from airborne laser scanning (TLS) data with an automated method, and tree crowns were delineated in three dimensions with a model-based clustering approach.

Ecological Indicators

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the geographical distribution of land clearing potential in the Canadian agriculture-forestry interface and propose a new landscape-scale indicator that quantifies this potential.
