What Are We Missing? Occlusion in Laser Scanning Point Clouds and Its Impact on the Detection of Single-Tree Morphologies and Stand Structural Variables

Laser scanning has revolutionized the ability to quantify single-tree morphologies and stand structural variables. In this study, we address the issue of occlusion when scanning a spruce (<i>Picea abies</i> (L.) H.Karst.) and beech (<i>Fagus sylvatica</i> L.) forest with a mo...
