Modelling tree size diversity from airborne laser scanning using canopy height models with image texture measures (2013, background): “Many studies have now demonstrated the value and precision of ALS for estimating tree size variables (diameter, height or basal area) and their frequency distributions; a number of modelling techniques have been evaluated from conifer, broadleaf and mixed forest stands (Maltamo et al., 2004,2007; Go”
A best practices guide for generating forest inventory attributes from airborne laser scanning data using an area-based approach (2013, background): “A review of the scientific literature shows plot sizes ranging from 50 m2 (8 m diameter) (Næsset and Økland 2002) to 2500 m2 (56 m diameter) (Thomas et al. 2008), with an overall average of around 420 m2 based on a sample of published articles (Nilsson 1996; Lefsky et al.”
