Variation In Habitat Thresholds: An Analysis Of Minimum Habitat Requirements Of North American Breeding Birds
… of detailed habitat metrics, such as maximum canopy height and canopy heterogeneity, allowed me to detect detailed extinction thresholds for five species of cavity breeding birds and the Cerulean Warbler (Setophaga cerulea), a species of great conservation concern. Models also showed …

LINKING ALLOMETRIC SCALING THEORY WITH LIDAR REMOTE SENSING FOR IMPROVED BIOMASS ESTIMATION AND ECOSYSTEM CHARACTERIZATION
… little or no relationship between basal area and maximum canopy height. Finally, we applied LiDAR datasets to an analysis of the effects of sample size on empirical allometry development. We found that small samples sizes tend to result in an under sampling of large stems, which yields a more …

Contributions to the Proterozoic and Cambrian Evolution of Eukaryotes
… increase in thallus surface/volume ratio and maximum canopy height of the Ediacaran macroalgal communities. The prolonged plateau between the Mesoproterozoic and Ediacaran may be related to either nutrient stress or the absence of animal grazing pressure. The Ediacaran increase in …

Hydrodynamic Effects of Salt Marsh Canopies and their Prediction using Remote Sensing Techniques
… of tidal flows centre around poor assessments of canopy structure and mechanical properties. The validity of such simplified and reductionist assessments of canopy structure were tested and found to contribute considerable error in estimations of canopy frontal area and canopy drag. New metrics to …

Multi-trophic Biodiversity Increases with Increasing Structural Complexity of Forest Canopy
<p>Understanding the effects of forest canopy structural complexity on multi-trophic diversity is critical for conserving biodiversity and managing land sustainably. But multi-trophic diversity is often ignored when making decisions about land management due to lack of cost- and time-effective …
