Effect of Tree Phenology on LiDAR Measurement of Mediterranean Forest Structure
2018
Remote Sensing
Retrieval of forest biophysical properties using airborne LiDAR is known to differ between leaf-on and leaf-off states of deciduous trees, but much less is understood about the within-season effects of ...
Our demonstration of which variables are more or less affected by spring-time leafing phenology has important implications for analyses of both canopy and sub-canopy vegetation layers from LiDAR surveys ...
We are grateful for the cooperation of all involved. Our thanks to Ruben Valbuena for comments on an earlier draft of this paper.

Available and missing data to model impact of climate change on European forests
2020
Ecological Modelling
To assess forest impacts from climate change, the existing empirical information must be structured, harmonised and assimilated into a form suitable to develop and test state-of-the-art forest and ecosystem ...
The combination of empirical data collected at large spatial and long temporal scales with suitable modelling approaches is key to understand forest dynamics under climate change. ...
