- Description
This research determined the interannual variability in the vegetation structure of 7 species located in the Tumamoc Hill area, in the west side of Tucson. For this study monthly scans were performed with a tripod-mounted LiDAR unit from March 2011 to May 2012. The collected LiDAR data was used to calculate percent of returns for vegetation density, percent of returns from ground surface, vegetation height, canopy area, and canopy perimeter....
