  • Error propagation in estimating aboveground biomass using terrestrial LiDAR

    Creator:
    Shettles, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    Broad-scale estimates of above ground forest biomass (AGB) are typically produced by applying individual-tree equations to inventory data consisting of measurements from probabilistically or purposively selected trees. The associated uncertainty for these estimates depends primarily on three sources of error that interact and propagate: (1) measurement error, the quality of...

  • Multi-temporal LiDAR Analysis of Landscape Fire Effects in Southwestern Oregon

    Creator:
    Hoe, Michael
    Abstract:
    Quantitative assessments of post-fire effects are key to improving our understanding of ecosystem resilience. While remote sensing technology has allowed us to assess post-fire landscape effects, we are often limited by the lack of information related to pre-fire forest attributes. As a result, our ability to interpret fire effects in...
