Laser-based pulling test: measuring tilt, bending and stiffness at high resolution
Forests 2026, 17(5), 528 · MDPI · Open Access
Peer-reviewed study on the LOFOR method: laser-based tracking captures stem bending, torsion and root-plate tilt under load at high resolution and low noise — enabling reliable pulling tests even on very large trees and
