A simulation method to infer tree allometry and forest structure from airborne laser scanning and forest inventories

2020-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Tropical forests are characterized by large carbon stocks and high biodiversity, but they are increasingly threatened by human activities. Since structure strongly influences the functioning and resilience of forest communities and ecosystems, it is important to quantify it at fine spatial scales.Here, we propose a new simulation-based approach, the “Canopy Constructor”, with which we quantified forest structure a...
