An ecological application: Using airborne laser scanning to study risk habitat for roe deer
In her PhD project, Karen Lone studies the ecology of forest dwelling ungulates in Norway using LiDAR to map habitat vegetation structure. Continue reading
Lidar sampling — Using an airborne profiler to estimate forest biomass in Hedmark County, Norway
In a study published in Remote Sensing of Environment an airborne profiling lidar was used to estimate total aboveground dry biomass, a surrogate for aboveground carbon stocks, for all land cover types in Hedmark County, Norway. Continue reading
Single tree detection in heterogeneous boreal forests using airborne laser scanning and area-based stem number estimates
A investigation of adaptive single tree detection methods using airborne laser scanning (ALS) data are published in International Journal of Remote Sensing (IJRS). Continue reading
Methods for enhancing forest inventories at different spatial scales using auxiliary information
Liviu Theodor Ene had his dissertation on the 4. May 2012. Continue reading
Measuring biomass in Tanzanian rainforest – Fieldwork
Deforestation and forest degradation is identified as one of the most important sources of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere. At the same time forests are capable of offsetting large amounts of carbon, and better forest management is one of the solutions to the worlds climate problem. Continue reading
Detection of cultural heritage in forests
It is important to have a good overview of cultural remains in forests. Today, detection of cultural heritage in forests usually is carried out by means of interpretation of terrain models generated from laserdata. Continue reading
