Characterizing the Spatial Variations of Forest Sunlit and Shaded Components Using Discrete Aerial Lidar

Forest three-dimensional (3-D) structure, in the vertical dimension, consists of at least two components, including overstory and a forest background matrix (i.e., shrubs, grass, and bare earth). Quantitatively characterizing the proportions of forest sunlit (i.e., sunlit overstory and forest backgr...
