DESCRIPTION:Authors: Linda Luck (GFZ)\, Ben Brede (GFZ)\, Johannes Wilk (GF
 Z)\, Arnan Araza (WUR)\, Geike De Sloover (UGent)\, Bert Gielen (Universit
 y of Antwerp)\, Martin Herold (GFZ)\n\nTerrestrial laser scanning (TLS) an
 d Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle laser scanning (ULS) provide highly detailed and
  reliable measurements of vegetation structure and have become an importan
 t tool for forest and ecosystem research. Despite its high value\, openly 
 available TLS/ULS datasets remain scarce. Previous initiatives to establis
 h centralised data collection have faced challenges in gaining sufficient 
 participation and maintaining long-term feasibility\, highlighting the nee
 d for alternative approaches to improving accessibility and usability of T
 LS/ULS data.\n\nIn addition to making some of our data publicly available\
 , we are developing a reproducible processing workflow that can be applied
  across sites and shared among partners. This workflow is currently being 
 implemented for several contrasting ecosystems\, including the deciduous m
 ixed forest of Hohes Holz (Germany)\, the savanna ecosystem at Las Majadas
  (Spain)\, and additional sites currently under preparation. By standardis
 ing processing and derived outputs\, the approach enables consistent gener
 ation of structural metrics that can be shared and integrated across proje
 cts.\n\nAs a first application example\, we present the ESA Forest DTC pro
 ject\, where tree-level structural metrics derived from high-resolution TL
 S scans with manually corrected segmentation are combined with large-scale
  automated segmentation and feature extraction from UAV-based lidar to sup
 port ecosystem modelling.\n\nLooking ahead\, cloud-based and online proces
 sing services - such as those provided by ForesSens and currently being de
 veloped within the 3D-Trees project - may represent a promising pathway fo
 r enabling broader access to TLS processing and derived products without r
 equiring specialised local computing infrastructure.
