Characterizing Forest Succession Stages for Wildlife Habitat Assessment Using Multispectral Airborne Imagery

In this study, we demonstrate the potential of using high spatial resolution airborne imagery to characterize the structural development stages of forest canopies. Four forest succession stages were adopted: stand initiation, young multistory, understory reinitiation, and old growth. Remote sensing...
