Weak Environmental Controls of Tropical Forest Canopy Height in the Guiana Shield
Remote Sensing, 2016 Canopy height is a key variable in tropical forest functioning and for regional carbon inventories. We investigate the spatial structure of the canopy height of a tropical forest, its relationship with environmental physical covariates, and the ...

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 ...

Estimates of forest canopy height and aboveground biomass using ICESat [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2005 Exchange of carbon between forests and the atmosphere is a vital component of the global carbon cycle. Satellite laser altimetry has a unique capability for estimating forest canopy height, which has a direct and increasingly well understood relationship

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

Canopy Height Estimation in Mediterranean Forests of Spain With TanDEM-X Data [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021 Canopy height is an essential feature in forest inventory, and for assessment of biomass and carbon budgets. Spatially explicit maps of forest height over large areas can be derived from satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. We aimed to evaluate the capacity of TanDEM-X (TDX) data to assess canopy height in Mediterranean forests of Spain ...

Regionalization of an Existing Global Forest Canopy Height Model for Forests of the Southern United States [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 A large-scale global canopy height map (GCHM) is essential for global forest aboveground biomass estimation. Four GCHMs have recently been built using data from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) sensor aboard the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat), along with auxiliary spatial and climate information.
