One of my goals in modeling canopy height is to estimate sub-canopy biophysical variables that give indications of habitat suitability.  For example, suppose we have a rare plant that is canopy gap dependent.  How do we model it’s distribution?  With a statewide LiDAR dataset from which we can derive canopy location and height, we can identify canopy gaps.  While I haven’t gotten to the modeling … Continue reading Modeling (relative) Sub-Canopy Biophysical Variables with PovRay
