Trees are the great paradox of landscape visualization. In any architectural rendering, urban planning model, or virtual ...

The effects of a phenomenon called tree masting on ecosystems and food webs can be better understood thanks to new theoretical models validated by real world observations. The effects of a phenomenon ...

When building computer models of the ecosystems that cover the earth’s surface, it is tempting to incorporate sweeping generalizations in your calculations. The difficulty, of course, is that there is ...

The Monitoring, Analysis and Modeling area of study focuses on the application of statistical and operations research methods and techniques used to sample, describe and predict how individual trees, ...

Cornell researchers' "leaf-level" visualization of every tree in New York City—and how much shade each provides—could inform new strategies for mitigating extreme heat there, and in other cities ...

A new model aims to predict genetic changes that have unintended consequences in trees that researchers genetically modify. It could pave the way for more efficient research in the fields of both ...
