Remote Sensing, 2023 Forest canopy height plays an important role in forest resource management and conservation. The accurate estimation of forest canopy height on a large scale is important for forest carbon stock, biodiversity, and the carbon cycle. With the technological

IEEE Access, 2022 The canopy height model (CHM) is a representation of the height of the top of vegetation from the surrounding ground level. It is crucial for the extraction of various forest characteristics, for instance, timber stock estimations and forest growth ...

Forest drought resistance distinguished by canopy height
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 How are the survival and growth of trees under severe drought affected by their size? While some studies have shown that large trees are more vulnerable to drought than smaller trees, others found that small trees are the more vulnerable. We explored the potential relationships between canopy height and forest responses to drought indicated by tree ...

Exploring the Relationship between Forest Canopy Height and Canopy Density from Spaceborne LiDAR Observations [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 Forest structure is a useful proxy for carbon stocks, ecosystem function and species diversity, but it is not well characterised globally. However, Earth observing sensors, operating in various modes, can provide information on different components of forests enabling improved understanding of their structure and variations thereof.

Effects of UAV flight height on biomass estimation of desert shrub communities
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Accurate estimation of desert vegetation biomass is crucial for monitoring changes in carbon stocks and productivity status. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing allows large-scale biomass surveys at the individual or patch scale.

Towards a universal lidar canopy height indicator
Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2006 A light detection and ranging (lidar) canopy height study was conducted with 13 datasets collected using four different models of airborne laser terrain mapper (ALTM) sensors over 13 widely variable vegetation types ranging in average height from

New global map of forest canopy height [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2012 Just how tall are forests around the world? A new global map shows forest canopy height at 1‐kilometer spatial resolution. Simard et al. used satellite data from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System aboard the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) to create a global map of the height of the forest canopy.

Satellite evidence of canopy-height dependence of forest drought resistance in southwestern China
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 The frequency and intensity of drought events are increasing with warming climate, which has resulted in worldwide forest mortality. Previous studies have reached a general consensus on the size-dependency of forest resistance to drought, but further ...
