Global patterns and determinants of forest canopy height

Ecology, 2016
AbstractForest canopy height is an important indicator of forest biomass, species diversity, and other ecosystem functions; however, the climatic determinants that underlie its global patterns have not been fully explored. Using satellite LiDAR‐derived forest canopy heights and field measurements of the world's giant trees, combined with climate ...

A comparison between various definitions of forest stand height and aerodynamic canopy height

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2010
A consistent measure of forest canopy height is required for among-site comparisons of meteorological properties and for comparison of model results such as distributions of wind and other scalars calculated by large eddy simulations with observations.

SAR radargrammetry and scanning LiDAR in predicting forest canopy height

2012 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2012
Our objective was to evaluate the accuracy of estimating forest canopy height when using scanning LiDAR and TerraSAR-X stereo radargrammetry. The study area was located in southern Finland. We used SAR radargrammetry and LiDAR to extract 3D point clouds to derive predictors used in the non-parametric prediction of forest canopy height.

GETTING TO THE CANOPY: TREE HEIGHT GROWTH IN A NEOTROPICAL RAIN FOREST

Ecology, 2001
There is still limited understanding of the processes underlying forest dy- namics in the world's tropical rain forests, ecosystems of disproportionate importance in terms of global biogeochemistry and biodiversity. Particularly poorly documented are the nature and time scale of upward height growth during regeneration by the tree species in these ...
