For this purpose, understanding the biomass allocation directly influenced by crown architecture is crucial. In this paper, we want to demonstrate the possibility of 3D mensuration of canopy architecture with the digitizer sensor Fastrak Polhemus and demonstrate its capability for assessing important structural information for forest purposes. Scots pine trees were chosen for this purpose, as it is the most widespread tree species in Europe, which, paradoxically, is very negatively affected by climate change. In our study, we examined young trees since the architecture of young trees influences their growth potential. In order to get the most accurate measurement of tree architecture, we evaluated the use of the Fastrak Polhemus magnetic digitizer to create a 3D model of individual trees and perform a subsequent statistical analysis of the data obtained. It was found that the stand density affects the number of branches in different orders and the heights of the trees in the process of natural regeneration. Regarding the branches, in our case, the highest number of branch orders was found in the clear-cut areas (density = 0.0), whereas the lowest branching was on-site with mature stands (density = 0.8). The results showed that the intensity of branching (assessed as the number of third-order branches) depends on the total number of branches of the tree of different branch orders but also on stand density where the tree is growing. An important finding in this study was the negative correlation between the tree branching and the tree height. The growth in height is lower when the branching expansion is higher. Similar data could be obtained with Lidar sensors. However, the occlusion due to the complexity of the tree crown would impede the information from being complete when using the magnetic digitizer. These results provide vital information for the creation of structural-functional models, which can be used to predict and estimate future tree growth and carbon fixation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24010109","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,25]],"date-time":"2023-12-25T22:59:09Z","timestamp":1703545149000},"page":"109","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Measuring the Canopy Architecture of Young Vegetation Using the Fastrak Polhemus 3D Digitizer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Krist\u00fdna","family":"\u0160leglov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Kam\u00fdck\u00e1 129, 16500 Prague, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Jakub","family":"Brichta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Kam\u00fdck\u00e1 129, 16500 Prague, Czech Republic"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0752-8276","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luk\u00e1\u0161","family":"B\u00edlek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Kam\u00fdck\u00e1 129, 16500 Prague, Czech Republic"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6637-8661","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Surov\u00fd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Kam\u00fdck\u00e1 129, 16500 Prague, Czech Republic"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1875","DOI":"10.1007\/s00468-017-1593-8","article-title":"Modelling crown width-diameter relationship for Scots pine in the central Europe","volume":"31","author":"Sharma","year":"2017","journal-title":"Trees"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"176","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foreco.2019.03.044","article-title":"Multi-layered Scots pine forests in boreal Sweden result from mass regeneration and size stratification","volume":"441","author":"Lundqvist","year":"2019","journal-title":"Forest Ecol.
