Estimates of Tree Canopy Closure and Basal Area as Proxies for Tree Crown Volume at a Stand Scale

Estimates of Tree Canopy Closure and Basal Area as Proxies for Tree Crown Volume at a Stand Scale

Research Highlights: Studies on tree canopy dwelling species often require simple proxies of tree canopy volume estimated at a stand level. These include allometrically related tree crown parameters such as crown area and basal area, and canopy cover. Background and Objectives: In monoculture Scot’s...
