Terrestrial Laser Scanning to Detect Liana Impact on Forest Structure

Terrestrial Laser Scanning to Detect Liana Impact on Forest Structure

Tropical forests are currently experiencing large-scale structural changes, including an increase in liana abundance and biomass. Higher liana abundance results in reduced tree growth and increased tree mortality, possibly playing an important role in the global carbon cycle. Despite the large amoun...
