On generating digital elevation models from liDAR data – resolution versus accuracy and topographic wetness index indices in northern peatlands

Global change and GHG emission modelling are dependent on accurate wetness estimations for predictions of e.g. methane emissions. This study aims to quantify how the slope, drainage area and the TWI vary with the resolution of DEMs for a flat peatland area. Six DEMs with spatial resolutions from 0....
