Prediction of Competition Indices in a Norway Spruce and Silver Fir-Dominated Forest Using Lidar Data

Competitive interactions are important predictors of tree growth. Spatial and temporal changes in resource availability, and variation in species and spatial patterning of trees alter competitive interactions, thus affecting tree growth and, hence, biomass. Competition indices are used to quantify t...
