Interested in #Forest and #ForestEcology ?
Do you know that #Geophysics can be pretty useful ?

#Geophysics includes a large panel of methods that are depicted in the figure.
They can be used to derive spatialize key metrics to understand ecohydrological process in forests
#Geophysics can help to detect and describe #Tree #Root systems architecture non-destructively from the surface
#Geophysics allows to monitor the spatial distribution and dynamics of #water in the soil and to detect where the water is withdrawn by roots
#Geophysics allows characterization of spatial heterogeneity in subsurface properties such as bedrock depth and available water content
The future is to couple #Geophysics with ecophysiological measurements and models to improve our understanding of #Forest ecosystems. If you want to know more, the full text just here:
