even in the cold quiet of winter, this woodland is revealing scientific secrets. we re doing a six hectare area, which is probably one of the largest study areas. researchers are weighing the trees here in wytham wood in oxfordshire, using a laser scanning technique that measures each tree in fine detail. you can see it sjust a bunch of points, but you can see how we capture the full 3d structure. each laser scanned point is a dot on a three dimensional map of a tree, and that s converted into a solid model. this is the measure of each tree s volume, which scientists can use to calculate the amount of carbon that s locked into every inch of trunk and branch. how much does that tree weigh? this one was about 25 tonnes overall, of which about half of that will be carbon. we have more than almost 1,000 trees that will be nondestructively weighed here with laser and we found significantly more carbon
what we have been chatting and he looked very atmospheric indeed. i am sure her majesty would have been proud thank you forjoining us freddy paske the final queens artist in residence. many thanks. a study which used lasers to determine how much carbon is stored in trees in a wood in 0xfordshire, suggests there s almost twice as much locked into british forests as previously thought. researchers used 3d scanners to get the results and say it s more evidence of the importance of woodland areas, in combating climate change. here s our science correspondent, victoria gill. even in the cold quiet of winter, this woodland is revealing scientific secrets. we re doing a six hectare area, which is probably one researchers are weighing the trees here in wytham wood in 0xfordshire, using a laser scanning technique that measures each tree in fine detail. you can see it sjust a bunch of points, but you can see how we capture the full 3d structure. each laser scanned point is a dot
