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 ...

A sensitivity study of daytime net radiation during snowmelt to forest canopy and atmospheric conditions [PDF]
, 2004 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.
