Terrestrial Laser Scanning in Assessing the Effect of Different Thinning Treatments on the Competition of Scots Pine (<i>Pinus sylvestris</i> L.) Forests

Terrestrial Laser Scanning in Assessing the Effect of Different Thinning Treatments on the Competition of Scots Pine (<i>Pinus sylvestris</i> L.) Forests

Thinning is a forest management activity that regulates the competition between the trees within a forest. However, the effect of different thinning treatments on competition is largely unexplored, especially because of the difficulty in measuring crown characteristics. This study aimed to investiga...
