Identifying Regenerated Saplings by Stratifying Forest Overstory Using Airborne LiDAR Data
Liming Du, Yong Pang
Abstract
= 443, RMSE = 0.24 m). This study provides a solution for the quantification of understory saplings, which can be used to improve forest ecosystem resilence through regulating the dynamics of forest gaps to better utilize light resources.
