Detection and Segmentation of Small Trees in the Forest-Tundra Ecotone Using Airborne Laser Scanning

Due to expected climate change and increased focus on forests as a potential carbon sink, it is of interest to map and monitor even marginal forests where trees exist close to their tolerance limits, such as small pioneer trees in the forest-tundra ecotone. Such small trees might indicate tree line...
