Airborne Laser Scanning Helps Identify Old-Growth Mediterranean Forests - AZoOptics

In an article published in Remote Sensing, researchers used geostatistical analysis, low-density airborne laser scanning (ALS) metrics, and forest inventory data to estimate old-growth indices (OGIs) as indicators of old-growth forest conditions.

What are Old-Growth Forests (OGFs)? Old-growth forests are unique and have a high level of biodiversity, which has sparked interest in locating and maintaining them. This has made protecting and con… [+6007 chars]
