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
