Characterizing forest structural changes in response to non-stand replacing disturbances using bitemporal airborne laser scanning data by Tommaso Trotto, Nicholas C. Coops, Alexis Achim, Sarah E. Gergel, Dominik Roeser

“…Characterizing the extent, severity, and persistence of natural disturbances in forests is crucial in areas as large and heterogeneous as the Canadian boreal forest. Non-stand replacing (NSR) disturbances, in particular, can produce subtle and lagged impacts to forest canopy and structure with mechanisms that remain elusive, and they are challenging to discern using typical remote sensing approaches including aerial photointerpretation and spectral analysis of satellite imagery. …”
