Forest Vertical Structure Analysis

Forest Vertical Structure Analysis is a methodological framework in LiDAR-based forest measurement that characterizes the three-dimensional distribution of vegetation elements along the vertical axis within a forest canopy, distinguishing itself by quantifying layer arrangement, canopy height, and foliage density to assess ecosystem structure and function.
