Interested in measuring trees and branches from Lidar data? Don't want to use Matlab? (who does).
Take a look at our new Python package for reconstructing trees from point cloud data using quantitative structure models (QSM's).
Fun with @jefferybcannon.bsky.social!

Our study on helping pine forests endure hurricanes was featured in an issue of The Longleaf Alliance magazine. Originally publised in Forest Ecology and Management we show how managing density, promoting tree taper, and reducing fragmentation boosts wind resistance.
