Abrupt Change in Forest Height along a Tropical Elevation Gradient Detected Using Airborne Lidar
Most research on vegetation in mountain ranges focuses on elevation gradients as climate gradients, but elevation gradients are also the result of geological processes that build and deconstruct mountains. Recent findings from the Luquillo Mountains, Puerto Rico, have raised questions about whether erosion rates that vary due to past tectonic events and are spatially patterned in relation to el...

متن کاملEstimation of Airborne Lidar-Derived Tropical Forest Canopy Height Using Landsat Time Series in Cambodia
In this study, we test and demonstrate the utility of disturbance and recovery information derived from annual Landsat time series to predict current forest vertical structure (as compared to the more common approaches, that consider a sample of airborne Lidar and single-date Landsat derived variables). Mean Canopy Height (MCH) was estimated separately using single date, time series, and the co...
متن کاملForest Modeling using Airborne Lidar
Building up forest inventories for performing forest management is currently done manually through field cruises and interpretation of the aerial imagery, which is a labor-intensive task. Airborne lidar technology is capable of building a point cloud off the top surface of the ground objects. Modeling urban areas from the lidar has been successfully accomplished. However, for forest modeling, t...
متن کاملClimate Impacts on Soil Carbon Processes along an Elevation Gradient in the Tropical Luquillo Experimental Forest
Tropical forests play an important role in regulating the global climate and the carbon cycle. With the changing temperature and moisture along the elevation gradient, the Luquillo Experimental Forest in Northeastern Puerto Rico provides a natural approach to understand tropical forest ecosystems under climate change. In this study, we conducted a soil translocation experiment along an elevatio...
