Remote-sensing-based forest canopy height mapping: some models are useful, but might they provide us with even more insights when combined? by N. Besic, N. Picard, C. Vega, J.-D. Bontemps, L. Hertzog, J.-P. Renaud, J.-P. Renaud, F. Fogel, M. Schwartz, A. Pellissier-Tanon, G. Destouet, F. Mortier, F. Mortier, M. Planells-Rodriguez, P. Ciais

“…The predictions in our case are forest canopy height estimations for metropolitan France arising from five different models. An independent reference dataset, containing four different definitions of forest height (dominant, mean, maximum, and Lorey's) was established based on around <span class="inline-formula">5500</span> plots of the French National Forest Inventory (NFI), distributed across the entire area of interest. …”
