Requirements for a global lidar system: spaceborne lidar with wall-to-wall coverage [PDF]
Lidar is the optimum technology for measuring bare-Earth elevation beneath, and the structure of, vegetation. Consequently, airborne laser scanning (ALS) is widely employed for use in a range of applications.

Functional traits explain responses of Appalachian birds to vertical and horizontal forest structure. [PDF]
The study of bird–forest relationships dates back decades, but rarely have the relationships of functional traits to 3D forest structure responses been considered for dozens of species at regional scales. Abstract Species interact with habitat based on their functional traits, but it is unclear how specific traits interact with the multiple components ...
