An integrated model of soil-canopy spectral radiances, photosynthesis, fluorescence, temperature and energy balance [PDF]
This paper presents the model SCOPE (Soil Canopy Observation, Photochemistry and Energy fluxes), which is a vertical (1-D) integrated radiative transfer and energy balance model. The model links visible to thermal infrared radiance spectra (0.4 to 50 μm)

Estimation of canopy structure and individual trees from laser scanning data [PDF]
During the last fifteen years, laser scanning has emerged as a data source for forest inventory. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) provides 3D data, which may be used in an automated analysis chain to estimate vegetation properties for large areas ...

Preliminary Canopy Removal Experiments in Algal Dominated Communities Low on the Shore and in the Shallow Subtidal on the Isle of Man [PDF]
The algal dominated communities immediately above and below the low-water spring level on a moderately exposed Manx shore were investigated by canopy removal experiments. Fucus serratus, Laminaria digitata and L. hyperborea were removed.

Canopy structural modeling using object-oriented image classification and laser scanning [PDF]
A terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) experiment was carried out in the EAGLE 2006 campaign to characterize and model the canopy structure of the Speulderbos forest. Semi-variogram analysis was used to describe spatial variability of the surface.

A sensitivity study of daytime net radiation during snowmelt to forest canopy and atmospheric conditions [PDF]
This study investigates the dependence of net radiation at snow surfaces under forest canopies on the overlying canopy density. The daily sum of positive values of net radiation is used as an index of the snowmelt rate.

Analyzing canopy structure effects based on LiDAR for GPP-SIF relationship and GPP estimation
The coupling between Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Solar-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF) is crucial for understanding terrestrial carbon cycles, with the GPP/SIF ratio regulated by canopy structure, environmental change, and other factors ...

Using multiscale lidar to determine variation in canopy structure from African forest elephant trails [PDF]
Recently classified as a unique species by the IUCN, African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) are critically endangered due to severe poaching. With limited knowledge about their ecological role due to the dense tropical forests they inhabit in ...
