A simple area-based model for predicting airborne LiDAR first returns from stem diameter distributions: an example study in an uneven-aged, mixed temperate forest

We present an area-based allometric model (with three levels of species specificity) that links ground-based plot data to the height distribution of LiDAR first returns, demonstrating theapproach with survey data from a mixed, uneven-aged forest in central Ontario.
