2022 The Garden Club of America Fellowship in Tropical Botany
Can Branch Architecture from Laser Scans Predict Tree Growth Rates in Neotropical Dry Forests?
Using a collection of twigs from tropical dry-forest species, Chmurzynski will analyze models of tree growth and validate laser scanning methods. Chmurzynski will use remote-sensing data to test fundamental ecological theories at the interface of plant ecology and global change. In addition, Chmurzynski will apply 3D laser scanning technology to quantify the geometry of tree branches as well as wholeplant form and function. Findings will provide models of tree growth to better predict changes in forested landscapes over time.
