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 …
Understory plant communities are an integral component of deciduous forests, playing a vital role in the overall health of the ecosystem. However, remote sensing of understory plant …
Vegetation cover fraction (fCover) and related quantities are basic yet critical vegetation structure variables in various disciplines and applications. Ground-and aerial-based …

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 …
The use of hyperspectral (HS) and LiDAR acquisitions has a great potential to enhance mapping and monitoring practices of endangered grasslands habitats, beyond conventional …
The role of forests in biodiversity assessment and planning is substantial as these ecosystems support approximately 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity. Forests provide …
The understory is an essential ecological and structural component of forest ecosystems. The lack of efficient, accurate, and objective methods for evaluating and quantifying the …
Laser scanning has the potential to accurately detect the vertical distribution of forest vegetative components. However, limitations are present and vary according to the system's …
Modelling fire behaviour in forest fires is based on meteorological, topographical, and vegetation data, including species' type. To accurately parameterise these models, an …
