Spatial Variation in Canopy Structure across Forest Landscapes

Spatial Variation in Canopy Structure across Forest Landscapes

Forest canopy structure (CS) controls many ecosystem functions and is highly variable across landscapes, but the magnitude and scale of this variation is not well understood. We used a portable canopy LiDAR system to characterize variation in five categories of CS along N = 3 transects (140&ndas...
