Improving Species Diversity and Biomass Estimates of Tropical Dry Forests Using Airborne LiDAR

Improving Species Diversity and Biomass Estimates of Tropical Dry Forests Using Airborne LiDAR

The spatial distribution of plant diversity and biomass informs management decisions to maintain biodiversity and carbon stocks in tropical forests. Optical remotely sensed data is often used for supporting such activities; however, it is difficult to estimate these variables in areas of high biomas...
