Obtaining accurate and widespread measurements of the vertical structure of the Earth’s forests has been a long-sought goal for the ecological community. Such observations are critical for accurately assessing the existing biomass of forests, and h

Publikováno v: Remote Sensing of Environment. 100:503-511

A capability to remotely measure the vertical and spatial distribution of forest structure is required for more accurate modeling of energy, carbon, water, and climate over regional, continental, and global scales. We examined the potential of using
