National Forest Inventories : pathways for common reporting

TL;DR: Analysis and results of modeling aboveground biomass (AGB) in a Tanzanian rainforest utilizing data from a small-footprint ALS system and 153 field plots showed that variables derived from echoes in the lower parts of the canopy and canopy density variables explained more of the AGB density than variables representing the height ofThe canopy.
