Thinning- and tree-growth-caused changes in canopy cover and stand height and their estimation using low-density bitemporal airborne lidar measurements – a case study in hemi-boreal forests

Repeated airborne laser scanning (ALS) measurements during leaf-on and leaf-off phenophases were studied. A 15 km × 15 km test site located in northern Estonia was used that included a reference set of stands, and 870 stands with thinning carried out before, between, and after two ALS flights. The d...
