This project seeks to expand upon the research conducted by the Bentley Lab at Sonoma State University and the USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station Fire Science Lab by integrating terrestrial laser scanning data with a physics-based model framework to estimate fire effects on biomass, forest structure, and tree mortality in a wildfire affected oak-woodland and managed conifer forest in California.
