Use ray casting to determine the height of the terrain (or any other mesh) and position the character accordingly.
dbIntersectObject(objNumber, x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2) will return the distance from (x1, y1, z1) at which the object objNumber intersects with the ray (a line, simply enough) from (x1, y1, z1) to (x2, y2, z2), or 0 if the object doesn't intersect at all.
Therefore you can do something like this to get ground height:

Like a collision system you mean?
Or if the raycasting will fail because the tree is in the way?
In the second case, no, it will only consider the terrain with the solution given above. If you need to raycast against multiple objects a collision library would probably be the easiest solution since those tend to offer that functionality out of the box.
