Comparison of Area-Based and Individual Tree-Based Methods for Predicting Plot-Level Forest Attributes

Approaches to deriving forest information from laser scanner data have generally made use of two methods: the area-based and individual tree-based approaches. In this paper, these two methods were evaluated and compared for their abilities to predict forest attributes at the plot level using the sam...
