Mangrove canopy-height estimation using LiDAR and multispectral remote sensing: linking spatiotemporal species composition to restoration baselines

Canopy height is an important indicator of mangrove forest structure, ecological functioning, and restoration development; however, field measurements are spatially limited by cost, accessibility, and survey effort. This study mapped mangrove canopy height in Trat Province, Thail...

Allometric equations for estimating tree volume and aboveground biomass of Acacia mangium Willd. on the Batéké Plateau, Republic of the Congo

A bstract Acacia mangium Willd. is one of the most widely planted fast-growing tropical species, yet it remains poorly documented in Central Africa, particularly in terms of biomass accumulation. This knowledge gap, combined with the lack of robust allometric equations, limits th...
