Ground-based Lidar<br />
– Crystal Schaaf (U of Mass); Jan Van<br />
Aardt (RIT)<br />
– Is there agreement in critical canopy<br />
measurements between ground-based<br />
Lidar and airborne Lidar?<br />
– Are estimates of key parameters (i.e.,<br />
canopy ht., canopy volume, leaf area,<br />
etc.) similar?<br />
– Does ground-based Lidar offer an<br />
alternative (superior?) approach for<br />
ground validation of airborne Lidar?<br />
• Can ground-based Lidar<br />
augment (or replace) laborintensive<br />
measurements of trees<br />
and allometric equations?<br />
Ground-based spectral<br />
measurements of vegetation<br />
– Field spectrometer measurements of<br />
plants to develop spectral data base to<br />
support vegetation classification from<br />
airborne data
