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

Canopy structural modeling using object-oriented image classification and laser scanning [PDF]
A terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) experiment was carried out in the EAGLE 2006 campaign to characterize and model the canopy structure of the Speulderbos forest. Semi-variogram analysis was used to describe spatial variability of the surface.

On the Estimation of Forest Vertical Structure From Multibaseline Polarimetric SAR Data [PDF]
Forest characterization and biomass estimation by means of remote sensing systems are nowadays “hot topics” within the remote sensing community, given their importance in the terrestrial carbon budget. In fact, forest vertical structure is a key variable

Species-specific forest variable estimation using non-parametric modeling of multi-spectral photogrammetric point cloud data [PDF]
The recent development in software for automatic photogrammetric processing of multispectral aerial imagery, and the growing nation-wide availability of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data, are about to revolutionize data capture for forest management ...
