Canopy Spatial Variability

Canopy Spatial Variability is a quantitative metric that characterizes the degree of structural heterogeneity in vegetation canopy properties across a spatial landscape, distinguishing itself from other canopy metrics by specifically measuring the spatial distribution and variation of canopy elements such as height, density, and cover.
