Trees are tall. Humans, relatively speaking, are not. And we're not the most agile climbers in the animal kingdom, either. But we are crafty, and we can out-think even the most wizened redwood. But ...

Tree growth is one of the most essential and widely collected woody plant traits. Yet, the traditional method to measure tree growth is awkward and time consuming. Scientists have developed a new, ...

Instructions for making and using a tree measuring stick are available from publication FNR-4: How to Make and Use the Tree Measuring Stick. Those instructions call for blueprint paper, which can be ...

Every now and then, a new map changes the way we view our planet. This is one of those maps. The map above shows the height of Earth’s forests, from stubby saplings to timbers towering more than 50 ...

Dr. Mubark Mahmud PhD, an environmental researcher originally from Kano State and now residing in France, has developed a groundbreaking technique for measuring tree height, now recognised as the ...

“The results were excellent as the projected area of each tree was measured with 97% accuracy and minimum deviations on height data and estimated volume were observed in the studied fields”, explains ...

NASA would like you to take a picture of a tree, please. The space agency’s ICESat-2 satellite estimates the height of trees from space, and NASA has created a new tool for citizen scientists that can ...

Scientists have created the first global map of forest height using satellite data. The map will improve estimates of how much carbon is stored in Earth’s trees and how much carbon dioxide they absorb ...
