Effects of Tree Trunks on Estimation of Clumping Index and LAI from HemiView and Terrestrial LiDAR
Estimating clumping indices is important for determining the leaf area index (LAI) of forest canopies. The spatial distribution of the clumping index is vital for LAI estimation. However, the neglect of woody tissue can result in biased clumping index estimates when indirectly deriving them from the...
