Enriching ALS-Derived Area-Based Estimates of Volume through Tree-Level Downscaling

Enriching ALS-Derived Area-Based Estimates of Volume through Tree-Level Downscaling

Information on individual tree attributes is important for sustainable management of forest stands. Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) point clouds are an excellent source of information for predicting a range of forest stand attributes, with plot and single tree volume being among the most important. Tw...
