Forests and Their Canopies: Achievements and Horizons in Canopy Science [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2017 Forest canopies are dynamic interfaces between organisms and atmosphere, providing buffered microclimates and complex microhabitats. Canopies form vertically stratified ecosystems interconnected with other strata. Some forest biodiversity patterns and food webs have been documented and measurements of ecophysiology and biogeochemical cycling have ...

Characterization of Canopy Layering in Forested Ecosystems Using Full Waveform Lidar
Remote Sensing, 2013 Canopy structure, the vertical distribution of canopy material, is an important element of forest ecosystem dynamics and habitat preference. Although vertical stratification, or “canopy layering,” is a basic characterization of canopy structure for ...
