INVISTIGATION ON CANOPY HEIGHT AND DENSITY DIFFERENTIATIONS IN THE MANAGED AND UNMANAGED FOREST STANDS USING LIDAR DATA (CASE STUDY: SHASTKALATEH FOREST, GORGAN) [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2015 Forest management plans are interesting to keep the forest stand natural composite and structure after silvicultural and management treatments. In order to investigate on stand differences made by management treatments, comparing of these stands with ...

Repeat airborne laser scanning to assess canopy height changes in tropical montane forests [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesTropical montane forests are vital ecosystems globally, preserving biodiversity, carbon stocks, and capturing moisture. We employed two airborne laser scanning (ALS) data sets to study changes in montane forest canopy heights in the Taita Hills, Kenya ...

Scale dependency of lidar‐derived forest structural diversity
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Lidar‐derived forest structural diversity (FSD) metrics—including measures of forest canopy height, vegetation arrangement, canopy cover (CC), structural complexity and leaf area and density—are increasingly used to describe forest structural ...
