Abstract:
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly used in forestry as they are economical and flexible. This study aims to present the advantages of the drone photogrammetry method in collecting individual tree crowns, as individual tree crown detection could deliver essential ecological and economic information. The referred accuracy for individual tree crown extraction is 79.2%. Only crowns that were clearly visible were selected and manually delineated on the image because the distribution of the true crown size is significantly different from the segmented crowns.

Rhododendron reticulatum D. Don ex G.Don is a common understory shrub in western Japan that exhibits highly plastic crown architecture and occurs in various light environments.

Crown form was derived from the crown depth/width ratio. Crown depth/width ratio was higher in sun-lit crowns. In crowns with higher depth/width ratio, long shoots were distributed in upper positions of the crown. Long shoots grew vertically and horizontall

Abstract A method is proposed for estimating fractal dimension of tree crowns from measurements of foliage mass and crown volume. Because fractal dimensions for each of the ten investigated species were greater than two, crown surface and volume depend on the unit of measurement.

In all studied cases, fractal dimensions of dominant trees were greater than those of intermediate trees of the same species.

Managing teeth that are deciduous, deformed, decayed, or traumatized using tooth-colored restorations can be challenging, especially with young children who may have specific behavioral intervention issues. For deciduous teeth with developmental abnormalities, multi-surface caries, high-caries patients, broken teeth, teeth where direct restorations tend to fail, following pulpal treatment, as space maintainer abutments, and teeth with severe wear, extra-coronal full-coverage crowns are recommended to ensure effective treatment.

Abstract In the conditions of Central Europe, silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) has so far not been an important species for commercial purposes but might be relevant from ecological point of view. For instance, prompt succession by birch and other pioneer tree species at large-scale post-disturbance areas is necessary to compensate for previous carbon losses by natural disasters. Therefore, our attention was focused on 14-year-old birch trees growing at the wind-thrown area in the High Tatra Mts. (northern Slovakia).

Abstract:
The widespread, native defoliator western spruce budworm (Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman) reduces canopy fuels, which might affect the potential for surface fires to torch (ignite the crowns of individual trees) or crown (spread between tree crowns). However, the effects of defoliation on fire behaviour are poorly understood. We used a physics-based fire model to examine the effects of defoliation and three aspects of how the phenomenon is represented in the model (the spatial distribution of defoliation within tree crowns, potential branchwood drying and model resolution).

In arid regions many tree species develop broad crowns. A number of hypotheses involve trade-offs between growth in height and horizontal spreading, but there is no explanation for the switch from vertical to horizontal growth during development. Using Acacia papyrocarpa Benth as a model, we measured tree height and crown shape across different sites and topographic positions. We also measured δ13C of phyllodes from crown tops and lateral spreading branches. Trees were significantly taller at the base of a hill, where water availability is typically greater, than on the adjacent steep hillslop

The movement of the liquid film causes the asymmetry development of the upstream and downstream crown.

Abstract:
Crown efficiency was first defined by Assmann (1961. Waldertragskunde. BLV, München) as individual tree volume increment per unit of crown projection area. He hypothesized that within a given crown class, smaller crowns are more efficient because their ratio between crown surface and horizontal crown projection is higher. Data from a loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) spacing experiment were used to test if this hypothesis also holds in young loblolly pine stands and, if so, to determine if it explains the increment differences between spacings in the spacing experiment.
