The first rule of forest restoration is to make maximum use of what's already on-site. Every naturally establishing tree is one less tree to plant—and tree planting is expensive. So, exploiting...

3: Drone‐based photogrammetry‐derived crown metrics for predicting tree and oil palm water use

ABSTRACT: Transpiration at the stand level is often estimated from water use measurements on a limited number of plants and then scaled up by predicting the remaining plants of a stand by plant...

4: Drone-based assessment of canopy cover for analyzing tree mortality in an oil palm agroforest.

ABSTRACT: Oil palm monocultures are highly productive, but there are widespread negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Some of these negative impacts might be mitigated by...
