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 ...

Forest Canopy Height Estimation Using Tandem-X Coherence Data
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2016 In this paper, we report results of a study aimed at assessing the potential for using X-band single-pass radar interferometric coherence for forest canopy height estimation. We use datasets from the Tandem-X satellite pair collected over Canadian forest

High-resolution forest canopy height estimation in an African blue carbon ecosystem. [PDF]
Remote Sens Ecol Conserv, 2015 AbstractMangrove forests are one of the most productive and carbon dense ecosystems that are only found at tidally inundated coastal areas. Forest canopy height is an important measure for modeling carbon and biomass dynamics, as well as land cover change. By taking advantage of the flat terrain and dense canopy cover, the present study derived digital
