A LiDAR-based approach for a multi-purpose characterization of Alpine forests: an Italian case study

Several studies have verified the suitability of LiDAR for the estimation of forest metrics over large areas. In the present study we used LiDAR as support for the characterization of structure, volume, biomass and naturalistic value in mixed-coniferous forests of the Alpine region. Stem density, he...
