Journal Article
Brown, S., Mahmood, A. R., Goslee, K. M., Pearson, T. R., Sukhdeo, H., Donoghue, D. N., & Watt, P. (2020). Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Forest Edge Degradation: Gold Mining in Guyana as a Case Study. Forests, 11(12), Article 1307. https://doi.org/10.3390/f11121307

Background and Methods: Degradation of forests in developing countries results from multiple activities and is perceived to be a key source of greenhouse gas emissions, yet there are not reliable methodologies to measure and monitor emissions from al...

Montane forest expansion at high elevations drives rapid reduction in non‐forest area, despite no change in mean forest elevation (2020)
Journal Article
Morley, P. J., Donoghue, D. N., Chen, J., & Jump, A. S. (2020). Montane forest expansion at high elevations drives rapid reduction in non‐forest area, despite no change in mean forest elevation. Journal of Biogeography, 47(11), 2405-2416. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.13951

Aim: At the elevational limit of forest distribution, montane forests show diverse responses to environmental change with upward shifts, increased tree density and lateral expansion reported. To enable informed analysis of the consequences forest adv...

The effect of leaf-on and leaf-off forest canopy conditions on LiDAR derived estimations of forest structural diversity (2020)
Journal Article
Davison, S., Donoghue, D. N., & Galiatsatos, N. (2020). The effect of leaf-on and leaf-off forest canopy conditions on LiDAR derived estimations of forest structural diversity. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 92, Article 102160. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.2020.102160

Forest structural diversity metrics describing diversity in tree size and crown shape within forest stands can be used as indicators of biodiversity. These diversity metrics can be generated using airborne laser scanning (LiDAR) data to provide a rap...

An Assessment of Global Forest Change Datasets for National Forest Monitoring and Reporting (2020)
Journal Article
Galiatsatos, N., Donoghue, D., Watt, P., Bholanath, P., Pickering, J., Hansen, M., & Mahmood, A. (2020). An Assessment of Global Forest Change Datasets for National Forest Monitoring and Reporting. Remote Sensing, 12(11), Article 1790. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs12111790

Global Forest Change datasets have the potential to assist countries with national forest measuring, reporting and verification (MRV) requirements. This paper assesses the accuracy of the Global Forest Change data against nationally derived forest ch...
