The deadline to submit publications to ongoing GEDI special issue in Environmental Research Ecology (ERE) titled “Unravelling the Role of Vegetation Structure in Ecosystem Functioning with LIDAR, Field Studies and Modelling” has been extended until September 2023!

“Our aim with this special issue is to comprehensively aggregate a coherent set of studies that can be used to bridge gaps in our current understanding and theory about the mechanisms through which flora and fauna interact in the 3D landscape of forest canopies across scales. We welcome contributions that incorporate, but are not limited to, any of the following topics:

1. Modelling studies exploring how vegetation structure mediates and interacts with ecosystem processes.
2. Interactions between animal (including insect) species with vegetation canopies.
3. Field studies reporting how animal size, shape and mobility impact usage of vegetation 3D landscapes.
4. Reviews and theoretical perspectives related to key parameters incorporating plant and animal species traits that shape other species distributions.”
