Integrating LiDAR‐derived tree height and Landsat satellite reflectance to estimate forest regrowth in a tropical agricultural landscape

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 190-203, December 2016., 2016
Remote sensing has revealed ongoing reforestation across many tropical regions, a transition with the potential to store carbon and promote biodiversity in degraded landscapes. However, most studies have quantified changes between discrete land cover categories that are difficult to relate to the continuous changes in forest structure that underlie ...
