The Canopy Structural Complexity Manipulation Experiment is a long-term research project focused on better understanding how the three-dimensional structure of the forest canopy affects carbon sequestration and storage. The results of this study will help us to better predict carbon uptake in our forests and help us to design and implement management treatments that can most effectively mitigate the effects of climate change.

Terrestrial Laser Scanning is used to build a 3D model of the forest
