A Method for Quantifying Understory Leaf Area Index in a Temperate Forest through Combining Small Footprint Full-Waveform and Point Cloud LiDAR Data

A Method for Quantifying Understory Leaf Area Index in a Temperate Forest through Combining Small Footprint Full-Waveform and Point Cloud LiDAR Data

Understory vegetation plays an important role in the structure and function of forest ecosystems. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) can provide understory information in the form of either point cloud or full-waveform data. Point cloud data have a remarkable ability to represent the three-dimensio...
