Enhanced Measurements of Leaf Area Density with T-LiDAR: Evaluating and Calibrating the Effects of Vegetation Heterogeneity and Scanner Properties

Enhanced Measurements of Leaf Area Density with T-LiDAR: Evaluating and Calibrating the Effects of Vegetation Heterogeneity and Scanner Properties

Reliable measurements of the 3D distribution of Leaf Area Density (LAD) in forest canopy are crucial for describing and modelling microclimatic and eco-physiological processes involved in forest ecosystems functioning. To overcome the obvious limitations of direct measurements, several indirect meth...
