Mapping Above- and Below-Ground Biomass Components in Subtropical Forests Using Small-Footprint LiDAR

In order to better assess the spatial variability in subtropical forest biomass, the goal of our study was to use small-footprint, discrete-return Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data to accurately estimate and map above- and below-ground biomass components of subtropical forests. Foliage, branc...
