Scaling wood volume estimates from inventory plots to landscapes with airborne LiDAR in temperate deciduous forest

Scaling wood volume estimates from inventory plots to landscapes with airborne LiDAR in temperate deciduous forest

Abstract Background Monitoring and managing carbon stocks in forested ecosystems requires accurate and repeatable quantification of the spatial distribution of wood volume at landscape to regional scales. Grid-based forest inventory networks have provided valuable records of forest structure and dyn...
