Vegetation cover fraction (fCover) and related quantities are basic yet critical vegetation
structure variables in various disciplines and applications. Ground-and aerial-based …

Forested environments are subject to large and high intensity unplanned fire events, owing
to, among other factors, the high quantity and complex structure of fuel in these …

Lidar is currently the most accurate method for remote estimation of forest structure, but it
has limited spatial and temporal coverage. Conversely, Landsat data are more widely …

This study presents a robust approach for characterization of multi-layered forests using
airborne laser scanning (ALS) data. Fuel map** or biomass estimation requires knowing …

This paper reviews the current status and development of remote sensing methods for
monitoring rangeland condition. Remote sensing offers ideal solutions for assessing …

Carbon sequestration service of Mediterranean forest and other wooded land is threatened
by their fragile, complex, and highly evolving nature, due to both human disturbances and …

Vegetation structure is identified as an important biodiversity indicator providing the physical
environment that generates, supports, and maintains forest biodiversity. Airborne lidar …

Optical remote sensing of crop nitrogen (N) status is develo** into a powerful diagnostic
tool that can improve N management decisions. Crop N status is a function of dry mass per …

Obtaining low vegetation data is important in order to quantify the structural characteristics of
a forest. Dense three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning data can provide information on the …
