Consistent patterns of LiDAR-derived measures of savanna vegetation complexity between wet and dry seasons by Zhengyang Wang, Jenia Singh, Andrew B. Davies

“…We used repeat ultrahigh-resolution LiDAR data (>100 points/m2) acquired in the wet and dry season in Kruger National Park, South Africa, to evaluate the consistency of the spatial distribution of vegetation structural complexity across the landscape. We computed 16 commonly used metrics of vegetation complexity (derived from LiDAR canopy height models and point clouds), and found that patches of the landscape that were vegetatively complex in the wet season LiDAR data remained so in the dry season LiDAR dataset (although phenological differences were detected within individual patches). …”
