Estimating Stem Diameter Distributions in a Management Context for a Tolerant Hardwood Forest Using ALS Height and Intensity Data
Two types of nonparametric modeling techniques and various metrics derived from airborne laser scanning (ALS) data were examined in terms of their utility for modeling stem diameter distributions in an uneven-aged tolerant hardwood forest in Ontario, Canada. Using an area-based approach (ABA), the f...
