Automated reconstruction of tree and canopy structure for modeling the internal canopy radiation regime

Creator:

van Leeuwen, Martin, Coops, Nicholas C., Hilker, Thomas, Wulder, Michael A., Newnham, Glenn J., and Culvenor, Darius S.

Abstract:

Understanding canopy radiation regimes is critical to successfully modeling vegetation growth and function. For instance, the vertical distribution of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) affects vegetation growth, informative upon carbon and energy cycling. Availing upon advances in information capture and computing power, geometrically explicit modeling of forest structure becomes increasingly possible....

Prediction of Wood Fiber Attributes from LiDAR-Derived Forest Canopy Indicators

Creator:

Hilker, Thomas, Frazer, Gordon W., Coops, Nicholas C., Wulder, Michael A., Newnham, Glenn J., Stewart, James D., van Leeuwen, Martin, and Culvenor, Darius S.

Abstract:

We investigated the potential use of airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data to predict key wood fiber properties from extrinsic indicators in lodgepole pine leading forest stands located in the foothills of central Alberta, Canada. Six wood fiber attributes (wood density, cell perimeter, cell coarseness, mature fiber length, microfibril...
