We evaluate the potential of deriving fractional cover (fCover) and leaf area index (LAI) from discrete return, small footprint airborne laser scanning (ALS) data. fCover was computed as the fraction of laser vegetation hits over the number of total laser echoes per unit area. Analogous to the conce
