Abstract

As a result of climate change, we are experiencing accelerating changes in the canopy, affecting the communities that live there. These communities make up half of the total terrestrial biodiversity. To help maintain the ecological balance, canopy research is important, and researchers began to focus on it in the 1980s, quickly adopting existing tools and developing new ones. Choosing the right one for our purposes can often be difficult from this wide range of tools. This synthetic work is intended to help in these situations while pointing out the methods that can be used to acquire practical knowledge that can be applied in forestry.

Keywords: methodology, temperate zone, field of application, application in practice
