ANPP, NDVI and canopy height in black sand extended growing season experiment, 2019 - 2023.

As a result of climate change, the Rocky Mountain Front Range is experiencing warmer summers and earlier snowmelt. Due to the importance of snow for regulating soil temperature, growing season length, and available moisture in alpine ecosystems, even small shifts in the snow-free period could have large impacts. The focus of the Black Sand Extended Growing Season Length Experiment is to examine how terrain-related differences in climate exposure influence the way alpine habitats respond to climate change via earlier snowmelt. To simulate how climate exposure may affect plant communities, NWT LTER researchers established 5 experimental sites, each containing a pair 10 x 40m rectangular plots. These sites include north and south facing aspects, subalpine and alpine tundra meadows and a range of hydrological conditions (e.g. dry meadows, moist meadows, wet meadows). We accelerated snowmelt in one plot at each site by adding chemically inert black sand, while keeping the second plot as an unmanipulated control; black sand was added to control plots after snow had naturally melted. This dataset includes measurements of aboveground net primary productivity, plant canopy height and NDVI.

Point-frame measurement of maximum canopy height for plant growth forms at the 2007 Anaktuvuk River Fire scar measured in 2019.

This file contains maximum plant heights from point frame measurements made in the southern section of the 2007 Anaktuvuk River fire scar, at a severely burned site and a nearby unburned site. Pin-vegetation contact was recorded using a 0.56 m2 frame with 41 evenly spaced sampling points. Data were collected during peak green in summer 2019. These data were used to examine the impact of post-fire changes in plant community composition and structure on habitat suitability and rodent herbivore activity in response to a large, severe, and unprecedented fire in northern Alaska moist acidic tussock tundra.

Canopy Trimming Experiment (CTE) plants greater than 1 centimeter diameter at breast height (DBH)

Plant diameters and growth measurements were taken both before and after treatments to determine how alterations in canopy openness and detritus affect measures of growth, mortality, and production. Both types of trimmed plots are predicted to have relatively quick evidence of re-sprouting (1-3 months; based on Hurricane Hugo studies), especially palms. Because essentially complete defoliation to the canopy took place in the trim plots, the large stems that were trimmed should experience delayed growth and higher mortality than those in non-trimmed plots. The understory vegetation, or otherwise those that were not trimmed (i.e., stems &lt;10cm at dbh) should experience increased growth in both trim plots as a result of increased light. Some nutrient immobilization may occur in the detritus addition plots, but this is predicted to affect belowground processes most. Little influence on aboveground processes from detritus addition might occur and cause some stunted growth rates of stems.

Vegetation profile and canopy height of Tabonuco, Colorado and Cloud Forests

The overall height and the presence of vegetation in different height intervals above ground is recorded above points on a 5 x 5 m grid in three hectare-sized plots in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico. One plots each is in tabonuco forest (350 m elevation), colorado forest (650 m) and cloud forest (1000 m). The first records were made shortly before Hurricane Hugo, in 1989. Post hurricane measurements have been made five time to six time in each plot, the most recent been in 1998 for all plots. The results show the damage to forest structure wreaked by Hurricane Hugo, steady recovery of forest structure after Hugo, minor damage by Hurricane Hortense in 1996, and resumption of recovery after Hortense. Maximum canopy height and the vertical distribution of vegetation in the forests are returning to pre-hurricane Hugo values.

Canopy height profile starting 1992, 1994 and 1996 of the Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot (LFDP), Puerto Rico

File LFDP_canopy contain the canopy heights for the Luquillo forest Dynamics plot. The first measurement started in 1992, and it was planned to measure the canopy height profile every 2 years. So far censuses starting in 1992, 1994, and 1996 have been completed. In the 1992 census the canopy height profile at points along the East and North limits of the plot were not included. In 1994 and 1996 these extra points were assessed. The National Science Foundation requires that data from projects it funds are posted on the web two years after any data set has been organized and "cleaned". The data from each census of the LFDP will be updated at intervals as each survey of the LFDP shows errors in the previous data collection. After posting on the web, researchers who are not part of the project are then welcome to use the data. Given the enormous amount of time, effort and resources required to manage the LFDP, obtain these data, and ensure data accuracy, LFDP Principal Investigators request that researchers intending to use this data comply with the requests below. Through complying with these requests we can ensure that the data are interpreted correctly, analyses are not repeated unnecessarily, beneficial collaboration between users is promoted and the Principle Investigators investment in this project is protected. Submit to the LFDP PIs a short (1 page) description of how you intend to use the data; · Invite LFDP PIs to be co-authors on any publication that uses the data in a substantial way (some PIs may decline and other LFDP scientists may need to be included); If the LFDP PIs are not co-authors, send the PIs a draft of any paper using LFDP data, so that the PIs may comment upon it; In the methods section of any publication using LFDP data, describe that data as coming from the "Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot, part of the Luquillo Experimental Forest Long-Term Ecological Research Program"; Acknowledge in any publication using LFDP data the "The Luquillo Experim

Canopy top height and indicative high carbon stock maps for Indonesia, Malaysia, and Philippines

<p>Canopy top height and indicative high carbon stock maps for Indonesia, Malaysia, and Philippines. The provided land cover maps follow the high carbon stock approach (HCSA) stratifying vegetation based on the estimated carbon density (aboveground biomass). A deep convolutional neural network was trained to estimate canopy top height from Sentinel-2 optical satellite images using reference data derived from GEDI lidar waveforms. Carbon density and high carbon stock classes were derived from these dense canopy height maps using calibration data from an airborne lidar campaign in Sabah, Borneo.

Canopy Height Model Dresden 2017

<p>The canopy height model (CHM) represents area-wide tree canopy heights within the City of Dresden (Germany). The CHM provides spatially explicit information on urban forest structure enabling the assessment of the small-scale impacts of urban trees and strategically managing the ecosystem services they provide. The high-resolution raster layer has a cell size of 0.5 meter and maps the height of the upper crown layer above the underlying ground.</p> <p>The CHM was derived from a classification of the urban forest in a LiDAR point cloud using a data fusion approach combining LiDAR with multispectral imagery and a 3D building model. LiDAR data were acquired in 2017. The classification is described in detail in <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ufug.2022.127637">this article</a>.</p> <p>The raster is available as a single-band GeoTIFF in the coordinate system ETRS89/UTM zone 33 (EPSG: 25833).</p> <p>The source data used was made freely available by the &ldquo;Landesamt f&uuml;r Geobasisinformation Sachsen&rdquo; (GeoSN) under the license &quot;Data license Germany - attribution - Version 2.0&quot; and can be downloaded under the following links:<br> LiDAR: <a href="https://www.geodaten.sachsen.de/downloadbereich-digitale-hoehenmodelle-4851.html">https://www.geodaten.sachsen.de/downloadbereich-digitale-hoehenmodelle-4851.html</a><br> 3D Building Model: <a href="https://www.geodaten.sachsen.de/downloadbereich-digitale-3d-stadtmodelle-4875.html">https://www.geodaten.sachsen.de/downloadbereich-digitale-3d-stadtmodelle-4875.html</a><br> Aerial Imagery: <a href="https://www.geodaten.sachsen.de/downloadbereich-dop-4826.html">https://www.geodaten.sachsen.de/downloadbereich-dop-4826.html</a></p>

Forest metrics derived from the 2008 Lidar point clouds, includes canopy closure, percentile height, and stem mapping for the Andrews Experimental Forest.

There are three types of forest metrics within this database. They all are derived from the raw Lidar point clouds using the FUSION software. The three types are canopy closure, height metric, and stem mapping. The canopy closure and height metric grids cover a variety of canopy heights and grid cell sizes. 1. Canopy closure: This metric measures the canopy closure of a given horizontal cell above a given vertical threshold (height break). Canopy closure can inform many landscape models and provide insight on how much light will reach the forest floor. 2. Height Metric: This metric measures the height at which a given percent of the first return points are below. This analysis is done in a given grid cell size. Height metrics give various statistics of the elevation above ground for a given set of Lidar points. In forested landscapes, first return height metrics describe the forest canopy. 3.This stem map locates the approximate center of all trees in the HJ Andrews Research Forest greater than 10 meters. In addition to the stem location, a canopy radius is also provided. FUSION and TreeVaWA software programs were used to develop this data. Watershed Sciences, Inc. (WS) collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data from HJ Andrews and the Willamette National Forest (NF) on August 10th and 11th 2008. Total area for this AOI is 17,705 acres. The total area of delivered LiDAR including 100 m buffer is 19,493 acres.

Canopy Height Map of Los Angeles County Native Habitat Areas

<p>Using LARIAC4 (2016) LIDAR imagery this Canopy Height Model was derived using the lidR, terra and sf packages in R at a resolution of 1 meter. Native habitat areas were selected based on occurence of native flora taxa from iNaturalist in each LARIAC tile. Tiles with no or very few native plants were not included. Additionally, LA County north of the Santa Clara river and San Gabriel mountains was not included, please contact me if you need additional areas. Non-organic features such as power lines, houses, and some high altitude LIDAR noise are still present in the data, future efforts are needed to remove these.

The global 30-m mangrove canopy height map for 2020

<p><span>The global mangrove canopy height map with a resolution of 30 m for 2020 (GlobeMCH_2020_30m_v1) was generated by integrating the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2), Sentinel-2 optical images and other ancillary data based on Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. The coordinate system of the GlobeMCH_2020_30m_v1 is World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) and the unit of the mangrove canopy height value is meter. The GlobeMCH_2020_30m_v1 was divided into 101 files, and the range of each file is 11&deg;&times;11&deg; (10&deg; + 1&deg; buffer).</span></p>
