Airborne lidar-based estimates of tropical forest structure in complex terrain: opportunities and trade-offs for REDD+.

Airborne lidar-based estimates of tropical forest structure in complex terrain: opportunities and trade-offs for REDD+.

Carbon stocks and fluxes in tropical forests remain large sources of uncertainty in the global carbon budget. Airborne lidar remote sensing is a powerful tool for estimating aboveground biomass, provided that lidar measurements penetrate dense forest vegetation to generate accurate estimates of surface topography and canopy heights. Tropical forest areas with complex topography present a challenge for lidar remote sensing.
