Efficient measurements of basal area in short rotation forests based on terrestrial laser scanning under special consideration of shadowing

Terrestrial laser scanning has been used in forest research for about ten years and use-orientated applications are of increasing importance. The effect of shadowing in single location laser scanning, e.g., as used for biomass estimations, has not been quantified so far even though it affects the qu...
