Fine monitoring of tree species is essential to supporting the urban forest management. Data acquired from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) not only have very high spatiotemporal resolution, but also contain the vertical structure of trees which is important in the fine recognition of vegetation...

Objective: For the rapid, accurate, and productive assessment of urban tree health, this study aims to investigate and analyze the growth, health, and management status of Fraxinus pennsylvanica in Beijing core functional area, so as to provide a scientific basis for comprehensive health assessment ...

Forest resource inventory is a significant part of the sustainable management of forest ecosystems. Finding methods to accurately estimate the diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height and tree position is a significant part of forest resource inventory. The traditional methods of forest...

Objective: The hydrological effects of litter layer and soil layer of Larix kaempferi plantation under different management models in subtropical regions were studied and compared, and the correlation between hydrological performance of the two was explored to provide scientific basis for regional...

Taking five management models of Larix kaempferi plantation in State-owned Changlinggang Forest Farm of Jianshi County (Mixed forest of Larix kaempferi-Sassafras tzumu, Larix kaempferi-Liriodendron chinense with two mixed ratios of 5:5 and 7:3, pure Larix kaempferi forest) as the research object,...

Structure-based forest management (SBFM) is a method for improving forest structure and quality based on nearest-neighbor analysis. Stand spatial structure directly affects the health and stability of forest ecosystems. Research on the effects of SBFM on the distribution of spatial structure...

Accurately estimating the above-ground biomass (AGB) of spruce forests and analyzing their spatial patterns are critical for quantifying forest carbon stocks and assessing regional climate conditions in China's drylands, with significant implications for the sustainable management and conservation...

Water and fertilizer are the essential factors for the growth of plants. Their management is the core issue of the cultivation of planted forest. The coupling of water and fertilizer can promote the plant growth and improve the resource utilization efficiency. The research on water-fertilizer...

For afforestation, it is necessary to consider habitat conditions and their impact on specific tree species, in order to enable the selection of appropriate species to improve forest productivity and stand stability. Based on the 2014 Beijing forest management inventory data, we evaluated site...
