Development of Vegetation Structure Inputs From ICESat, SRTM and MODIS Satellite Data for a Mixed Canopy Dynamic Global Terrestrial Ecosystem Model
State of the Problem Lidar remote sensing provides measurements of horizontal and vertical vegetation structure of ecosystems which will be critical for estimating global carbon storage and assessing ecosystem response to climate change and natural and anthropogenic disturbances. However, no consistent approach currently exists to derive the lidar based vegetation structure information required...
متن کاملUsing Small-Footprint Discrete and Full-Waveform Airborne LiDAR Metrics to Estimate Total Biomass and Biomass Components in Subtropical Forests
An accurate estimation of total biomass and its components is critical for understanding the carbon cycle in forest ecosystems. The objectives of this study were to explore the performances of forest canopy structure characterization from a single small-footprint Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) dataset using two different techniques focusing on (i) 3-D canopy structural information by discr...
متن کاملEvaluation of Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (glas) Waveforms for Vegetated Landscapes Using Airborne Laser Altimeter Scanning Data
The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System aboard NASA’s Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite will record the height distribution of laser energy reflected from surfaces within 70 m diameter footprints. For land surfaces, post-processing of this waveform data will be used to estimate the within-footprint mean elevation and surface relief due to ground slope and roughness, vegetation cover, buildi...
متن کامل3d Spatial Distribution of Biophysical Parameters Derived from Hyperspectral and Lidar Remote Sensing. Improving the Constraints in Land Surface Modelling
A hyperspectral sensor and a full waveform LiDAR were flown over a temperate Eucalyptus forest in Australia, at the location of the Tumbarumba Ozflux site. Ground cover and leaf area index were derived from the LiDAR dataset while chlorophyll content maps were generated from the hyperspectral imagery using 3D radiative transfer models and the structural information derived from the LiDAR. These...
متن کاملUsing airborne lidar to predict Leaf Area Index in cottonwood trees and refine riparian water-use estimates
Estimation of riparian forest structural attributes, such as the Leaf Area Index (LAI), is an important step in identifying the amount of water use in riparian forest areas. In this study, small-footprint lidar data were used to estimate biophysical properties of young, mature, and old cottonwood trees in the Upper San Pedro River Basin, Arizona, USA. Canopy height and maximum and mean laser he...
