TreeArchTraits: an R package to analyse the architectural traits of trees using TLS data
1O_LIThe architecture of trees is significantly influenced by their interactions, directly affecting their functioning and structural development. Different tree architectural indicators (TAT) have evolved, including these interactions measurements. C_LIO_LIRecent advances in Terrestrial Laser Scanning data collection make measuring the three-dimensional characteristics of trees more more efficient. C_LIO_LIThe R package TreeArchTraits facilitates the processing of three-dimensional tree characteristics obtained through Terrestrial Laser Scanning, enabling the computation of various indices. C_LIO_LIA set of trees belonging to different forest conditions was used to demonstrate the TreeArchTraits potential for characterizing tree architectures.
