In the past decade, lidar (light detection and ranging) has emerged as a powerful tool for remotely sensing forest canopy and stand structure, including the estimation of aboveground biomass and carbon storage. Numerous papers have documented the use of lidar measurements to predict important aspect

The direct retrieval of canopy height and the estimation of aboveground biomass are two important measures of forest structure that can be quantified by airborne laser scanning at landscape scales. These and other metrics are central to studies attempting to quantify global carbon cycles and to impr

Generalised linear models (GLMs) were used to estimate the alpha diversity of the ground vegetation of boreal managed forests. Alpha diversity was described using Simpson's reciprocal, which was employed as a response variable in modelling, the explanatory variables being the tree and site character
