Individual snag detection using neighborhood attribute filtered airborne lidar data

Creator:

Wing, Brian M., Ritchie, Martin W., Boston, Kevin, Cohen, Warren B., and Olsen, Michael J.

Abstract:

The ability to estimate and monitor standing dead trees (snags) has been difficult due to their irregular and sparse distribution, often requiring intensive sampling methods to obtain statistically significant estimates. This study presents a new method for estimating and monitoring snags using neighborhood attribute filtered airborne discrete-return lidar data. The...

Prediction of understory vegetation cover with airborne lidar in an interior ponderosa pine forest

Creator:

Wing, Brian M., Ritchie, Martin W., Boston, Kevin, Cohen, Warren B., Gitelman, Alix, and Olsen, Michael J.

Abstract:

Forest understory communities are important components in forest ecosystems providing wildlife habitat and influencing nutrient cycling, fuel loadings, fire behavior and tree species composition over time. One of the most widely utilized understory component metrics is understory vegetation cover, often used as a measure of vegetation abundance. To date, understory...
