Advances in remote-sensing technology can create detailed 3D images of trees, giving novel insights into tree structure and function. We used terrestrial laser scanning and quantitative structural models to provide comprehensive characterizations of the woody surface area allometry of urban trees and relate them to urban tree anatomy, physiology, and structural complexity. Fifty-six trees of three species (Gleditsia triacanthos L., Quercus macrocarpa Michx., Metasequoia glyptostroboides Hu &amp; W.C. Cheng) were sampled on the Michigan State University campus. Variations in surface area allocation to non-photosynthesizing components (main stem, branches) are related to the fractal dimension of tree architecture, in terms of structural complexity (box-dimension metric) and the distribution of \u201cpath\u201d lengths from the tree base to every branch tip. The total woody surface area increased with the box-dimension metric, but it was most strongly correlated with the 25th percentile of path lengths. These urban trees mainly allocated the woody surface area to branches, which changed with branch order, branch-base diameter, and branch-base height. The branch-to-stem area ratio differed among species and increased with the box-dimension metric. Finally, the woody surface area increased with the crown surface area of the study trees across all species combined and within each species. The results of this study provide novel data and new insights into the surface area properties of urban tree species and the links with structural complexity and constraints on tree morphology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13163153","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,9]],"date-time":"2021-08-09T21:41:46Z","timestamp":1628545306000},"page":"3153","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Woody Surface Area Measurements with Terrestrial Laser Scanning Relate to the Anatomical and Structural Complexity of Urban Trees"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5624-3587","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Georgios","family":"Arseniou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forestry, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7781-3390","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David W.","family":"MacFarlane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forestry, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4131-9424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dominik","family":"Seidel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Silviculture and Forest Ecology of the Temperate Zones, University of G\u00f6ttingen, 37073 G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"113","article-title":"Energy Savings with Trees","volume":"12","author":"Heisler","year":"1986","journal-title":"J.
