Ever stare at a drab city street and imagine how much better it would look lined with trees? So did a group of researchers ...

Tree modeling and simulation techniques encompass a range of interdisciplinary methodologies that integrate computer graphics, mathematical algorithms, and physical modelling to replicate the complex ...

Trees play an essential role in regulating ecosystems, maintaining biodiversity, and mitigating climate change. Precise 3D models allow scientists to calculate fundamental parameters such as diameter ...

Researchers from Purdue University's Department of Computer Science and Institute for Digital Forestry, with collaborator Sören Pirk at Kiel University in Germany, have found that artificial ...

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. Some species of trees go ...

What makes a tree a tree? Or rather, why can we recognize trees in even quite abstract depictions when they are so varied in nature? Researchers have found a clue in the branches, and used math to ...
