## Description

Scanforest is an innovative research infrastructure dedicated to advancing the understanding of forest ecosystems through advanced measurement techniques. With a vision for the next 30 years, Scanforest aims to unlock the complexities of tree growth and wood density, addressing the current limitations in characterizing tree structure over time.

Utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), mobile laser scanning (MLS), and airborne laser scanning (ALS), Scanforest provides comprehensive data that links external tree architecture with internal wood quality properties. The infrastructure encompasses the measurement of approximately 10,000 individual trees, collecting vast amounts of high-resolution data at a remarkable scale.

Key offerings include a mobile laser scanning framework for precise tree measurements, monitoring capabilities for changes in forest structure, and X-ray microdensitometry for wood density analysis over a three-year interval. By integrating multi-modal data, Scanforest empowers researchers and stakeholders to deepen their understanding of forest dynamics and contribute to ecological insights essential for sustainable management.
