However, other factors, such as competition and species interaction, may yield better estimates for individual tree height when taken into account, but these variables have so far been challenging in model fitting. We propose a hybrid approach using genetic algorithms for variables selection and a machine learning algorithm (random forest) for fitting models of individual tree heights. We compare our proposed hybrid method with a mixed-effects model and random forest model using a dataset of 5,608 trees and 189 environmental variables (forest inventory-based variables, soil, topographic, climate, spectral, and geographic) from sites in southeastern Brazil. The tree height models were evaluated using the coefficient of determination, absolute bias, and root means square error (RMSE) based on the validation of dataset performance. The optimal set of variables of the proposed method include the ratio of diameter at breast height to quadratic mean diameter, distance independent competition index, dominant height, the soil silt and boron content. Our findings showed that the proposed hybrid method achieved an accuracy comparable with other methodologies in estimating the total height of the individual trees, and such a modelling approach could have broader applications in forestry and ecological science where a studied response trait has a large number of potential explanatory variables.

A common model suitable for predicting bark volume was proposed for all species. A small but significant altitude effect on bark thickness at breast height was detected for three species. Context : The growing demand for wood energy and bio-molecules requires a thorough evaluation of forest biomass, particularly bark. Aims : The objective of this study is to have statistical models of bark volumes for the six main forest species present in North-Eastern France and to be able to estimate regional bark biomasses and quantities of chemical extractives at regional scale. Methods : A large databank gathering bark thickness measured at different heights in France was used for selecting literature or new alternative models of tree bark volume. These models were applied to the available forest inventory data from North-Eastern France to estimate the regional bark volume. Secondly, by multiplying these volumes by basic density data and extractive content recently obtained, bark biomasses and extractives quantities were deduced. Results : The first results consist in a set of species-specific models of bark thickness at breast height with R2 around 0.70 and a relative RMSE around 30% which is an improvement of 0.1 for R2 and of 1–2% for relative RMSE depending on the species compared to the best models from the literature. The second results consist in a set of species-specific models of tree bark volumes with R2 of 0.90 and a relative RMSE which varies between 22% when bark thickness at breast height is included and 40% when it is predicted. A significant relationship between bark thickness at breast height and altitude was also observed. The bark resources of Grand Est and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté regions were estimated at 558 000 m3/year and 611 000 m3/year respectively representing between 5.5% and 15% of the stem volume depending on the species. The propagation of the measurement error of bark gauge was estimated at 5% for model of bark thickness at breast height and 24% for bark volume model. Conclusion : These results constitute an important contribution for a better knowledge of the bark resource at a regional scale and may help to optimise bark valuation by the forest-wood sector.

Radiative transfer modeling in structurally complex stands: towards a better understanding of parametrization / Frédéric André in Annals of Forest Science [en ligne], vol 78 n° 4 (December 2021)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science [en ligne] > vol 78 n° 4 (December 2021) . - n° 92 Titre : Radiative transfer modeling in structurally complex stands: towards a better understanding of parametrization Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Frédéric André, Auteur ; Louis de Wergifosse, Auteur ; François de Coligny, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 92 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] Belgique [Termes IGN] couvert forestier [Termes IGN] croissance des arbres [Termes IGN] densité du feuillage [Termes IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes IGN] estimation bayesienne [Termes IGN] Fagus sylvatica [Termes IGN] houppier [Termes IGN] Leaf Mass per Area [Termes IGN] modèle de croissance végétale [Termes IGN] modèle de transfert radiatif [Termes IGN] peuplement mélangé [Termes IGN] photosynthèse [Termes IGN] production primaire brute [Termes IGN] production primaire nette [Termes IGN] Quercus sessiliflora [Termes IGN] structure d'un peuplement forestier [Vedettes matières IGN] Foresterie Résumé : (auteur) Key message: The best options to parametrize a radiative transfer model change according to the response variable used for fitting. To predict transmitted radiation, the turbid medium approach performs much better than the porous envelop, especially when accounting for the intra-specific variations in leaf area density but crown shape has limited effects. When fitting with tree growth data, the porous envelop approach combined with the more complex crown shape provides better results. When using a joint optimization with both variables, the better options are the turbid medium and the more detailed approach for describing crown shape and leaf area density. Context: Solar radiation transfer is a key process of tree growth dynamics in forest. Aims: Determining the best options to parametrize a forest radiative transfer model in heterogeneous oak and beech stands from Belgium. Methods: Calibration and evaluation of a forest radiative transfer module coupled to a spatially explicit tree growth model were repeated for different configuration options (i.e., turbid medium vs porous envelope to calculate light interception by trees, crown shapes of contrasting complexity to account for their asymmetry) and response variables used for fitting (transmitted radiation and/or tree growth data). Results: The turbid medium outperformed the porous envelope approach. The more complex crown shapes enabling to account for crown asymmetry improved performances when including growth data in the calibration. Conclusion: Our results provide insights on the options to select when parametrizing a forest radiative 3D-crown transfer model depending on the research or application objectives.

Forest structural complexity tool: An open source, fully-automated tool for measuring forest point clouds / Sean Krisanski in Remote sensing, vol 13 n° 22 (November-2 2021)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing > vol 13 n° 22 (November-2 2021) . - n° 4677 Titre : Forest structural complexity tool: An open source, fully-automated tool for measuring forest point clouds Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Sean Krisanski, Auteur ; Mohammad Sadegh Taskhiri, Auteur ; Susana Gonzalez Aracil, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 4677 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] données localisées 3D [Termes IGN] édition en libre accès [Termes IGN] logiciel libre [Termes IGN] modèle numérique de terrain [Termes IGN] Python (langage de programmation) [Termes IGN] segmentation [Termes IGN] semis de points [Termes IGN] squelettisation [Termes IGN] structure-from-motion [Termes IGN] télédétection par lidar Résumé : (auteur) Forest mensuration remains critical in managing our forests sustainably, however, capturing such measurements remains costly, time-consuming and provides minimal amounts of information such as diameter at breast height (DBH), location, and height. Plot scale remote sensing techniques show great promise in extracting detailed forest measurements rapidly and cheaply, however, they have been held back from large-scale implementation due to the complex and time-consuming workflows required to utilize them. This work is focused on describing and evaluating an approach to create a robust, sensor-agnostic and fully automated forest point cloud measurement tool called the Forest Structural Complexity Tool (FSCT). The performance of FSCT is evaluated using 49 forest plots of terrestrial laser scanned (TLS) point clouds and 7022 destructively sampled manual diameter measurements of the stems. FSCT was able to match 5141 of the reference diameter measurements fully automatically with mean, median and root mean squared errors (RMSE) of 0.032 m, 0.02 m, and 0.103 m respectively. A video demonstration is also provided to qualitatively demonstrate the diversity of point cloud datasets that the tool is capable of measuring. FSCT is provided as open source, with the goal of enabling plot scale remote sensing techniques to replace most structural forest mensuration in research and industry. Future work on this project will seek to make incremental improvements to this methodology to further improve the reliability and accuracy of this tool in most high-resolution forest point clouds.
