1. 1. Can urban tree re-inventories inform future species selection? : diameter at breast height as an indicator for tree performance in Malmö municipality’s tree database

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

   Author : Hannah Kit Kraynick Braegelmann; [2023]
   Keywords : DBH; ; diameter at breast height; tree inventories; tree re-inventories; urban forestry; species selection; tree management;

   Abstract : Using the inventory database of trees for Malmö municipality, Sweden, this study explored the potential of using the diameter at breast height (DBH) measurement in re-inventories, as a decision-making tool for species selection and management in urban forests. With the escalating pressures of urbanization and unpredictable climate change effects, there is an urgent need for urban forest managers to possess reliable tools that can facilitate the selection of resilient tree species capable of thriving in diverse and changing urban contexts.

   Keywords : Betula pendula Roth; genetic improvement; tree breeding; diameter growth; stem quality; branches quality;

   Abstract : Silver birch is the most important broadleaf tree species in the context of wood production in Fennoscandia stating 12.9% of the total volume in Sweden (Nilsson et al., 2021). READ MORE

4. 3. Investigation of above-ground biomass with terrestrial laser scanning : A case study of Valls Hage in Gävle

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Samhällsbyggnad

   Author : Mathias Billenberg; [2023]
   Keywords : TLS; tree species; QSM; AGB; volume; wood density; biomass; allometric; point cloud;

   Abstract : The thesis investigates above-ground biomass (AGB) with terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) for estimating AGB in a study area in Valls Hage, Gävle. The study used TLS for field measurements to collect highly detailed point clouds of two tree species for AGB estimation and comparison against validation data. READ MORE

5. 4. Assessing tree modeling algorithm from terrestrial laser scanning in Rumperöd mixed forest

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Stig Sand; [2023]
   Keywords : Terrestrial laser scanning; Hough transform algorithm; TreeLS; Rumperöd; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Recent technological advancements have revolutionized tree inventory methods for the forest industry. The development of terrestrial laser scanning (TSL) and automatized tree recognition software to estimate crucial tree parameters such as diameter at breast height (DBH) has made the inventory work faster and more reliable.
