Environmental predictors of species richness in forest landscapes: abiotic factors versus vegetation structure (2016, unknown): “…particular, has frequently been shown to respond to the vertical vegetation structure in forests (MacArthur & MacArthur, 1961; Goetz et al., 2007; Lesak et al., 2011), and relationships between vegetation structure and other taxonomic groups, such as invertebrates, are also documented (Vierling…”
The relationship of tropical bird communities to tree species composition and vegetation structure along an Andean elevational gradient (2013, result): “If structural complexity is linked to bird diversity, as suggested by our results and elsewhere (Goetz et al., 2007; Lesak et al., 2011), and if there is a time lag with shifts in vegetation structure, then there may not be sufficient vertical space for numerous lower elevation species to move into ”
Comparison of small-footprint discrete return and full waveform airborne lidar data for estimating multiple forest variables (2016, methodology): “Both structural and compositional information 451 from remote sensing sources have been used in a number of studies to estimate forest 452 inventory metrics, and assess habitat and species presence (Lesak et al., 2011; Martinuzzi et 453 al., 2009).”
