Exploring the relation between remotely sensed vertical canopy structure and tree species diversity in Gabon

Mapping tree species diversity is increasingly important in the face of environmental change and biodiversity conservation. We explore a potential way of mapping this diversity by relating forest structure to tree species diversity in Gabon. First, we test the relation between canopy height, as a pr...
