Developing nondestructive species‐specific tree allometry with terrestrial laser scanning

Abstract Allometric equations predict organism attributes from simple measurements and underlie many global‐scale estimates, from plant productivity to ecosystem carbon stocks. In forests, destructive harvesting of trees in common groups (e.g. plant functional type) or at the species level is necess...
