This study evaluates the performance of ZEB Horizon RT portable mobile laser scanner (MLS) in simulating silvicultural thinning operations across three different Tuscan forests dominated by Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), Italian cypress (Cupressus sempervirens L.), and Stone pine (Pinus pinea L.). The aim is to compare efficiency accuracy MLS with traditional dendrometric methods. established marteloscopes, each covering a 50 m × plot area (0.25 ha). Traditional methods involved team georeferencing trees using total station measuring diameter at breast height (DBH) selected tree heights (H) calculate growing stock volume (GSV). survey was carried out two-person team, who processed point cloud data LiDAR 360 software automatically identify positions, DBH, H. were compared based on time, cost, simulated felling volume. method more time-efficient, saving nearly one half hours per marteloscope, equivalent EUR 170. advantage most significant denser stands, especially forest. Both comparable terms for no differences number or volume, although greater noted
