Tree Crowns Cause Border Effects in Area-Based Biomass Estimations from Remote Sensing

Tree Crowns Cause Border Effects in Area-Based Biomass Estimations from Remote Sensing

The estimation of forest biomass by remote sensing is constrained by different uncertainties. An important source of uncertainty is the border effect, as tree crowns are not constrained by plot borders. Lidar remote sensing systems record the canopy height within a certain area, while the ground-tru...
