Mapping temperate forest stands using mobile terrestrial LiDAR shows the influence of forest management regimes on tree mortality

•Innovative approach using mobile laser scanning for rapid mapping of forest stands.•Forest management, by itself, had a strong effect on tree mortality probability.•Tree death is more likely in uneven-aged stands than in even-aged or unmanaged stands.•Silviculture can be used to cope with the effects of climate change on mortality.
