MEASURING FOREST CANOPY WATER MASS IN THREE DIMENSIONS USING TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNING

Canopy water mass is an important plant characteristic that can indicate the water status of vegetation. However, the parameter remains under-investigated because measuring it requires defoliating the canopy. This study introduced a non-destructive approach to estimate canopy water mass using terres...
