An ancient yew tree in Scotland that is half the age of the Holocene has caught our attention. What a privilege to be in the presence of one of the oldest trees in Europe. @ymalhi.bsky.social explains the significance of this giant. @naturerecovery.bsky.social @ecioxford.bsky.social

We are collecting terrestrial laser scanning data, spectral measurements of leaves, bark and understory and multispectral drone data. Not too much is known about these forests and these field measurements will result into a better understanding of these ecosystems. [3/4]

@qforestlab.bsky.social There are so many leaf-wood separation algorithms, don't know how to choose?
Our latest work (from @qforestlab.bsky.social ) has addressed this issue by providing a robust evaluation framework. Interested? please check our paper: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kKNW7qzT3...
