Accurate characterization of variability and trends in forest biomass at local to national
scales is required for accounting of global carbon sources and sinks and monitoring their …

The tendency of trees to grow taller with increasing water availability is common knowledge.
Yet a robust, universal relationship between the spatial distribution of water availability and …

Understanding the carbon flux of forests is critical for constraining the global carbon cycle
and managing forests to mitigate climate change. Monitoring forest growth and mortality …

Vegetation height is an important parameter for biomass assessment and vegetation
classification. However, vegetation height data over large areas are difficult to obtain. The …

Spatially-detailed forest height data are useful to monitor local, regional and global carbon
cycle. LiDAR remote sensing can measure three-dimensional forest features but generating …

The full waveform data of the large-footprint Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) on
the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite, together with airborne light detection and …

The ultimate goal of our multi-article series is to demonstrate the Allometric Scaling and
Resource Limitation (ASRL) approach for map** tree heights and biomass. This third …

Estimating potential height of forests is one of key tasks in forest restoration planning. Since
regional maximum height statistics is difficult to account for local heterogeneity, biotic and …
