A new study from Washington State University describes how researchers can now develop a working 3D model of a forest, which can be used to simulate what could happen to plant life if exposed to different environmental factors such as climate change or bush fires, thus allowing scientists to develop better ways to protect them. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, is based on data collected by the Forest Ecology Laboratory at WSU and was conducted with collaborators including David W. Smith (Oregon State) and Michael J. Davis ( University Do not reproduce without permission. The study is unique as it can recreate how the roots and canopies of real trees can develop during regrowth and recovery.
