Assessing of Forest Structure Using Earth Observation Data: A Case Study in Munessa Forest, Oromia Region, Ethiopia
Abstract: Understanding forest structure is crucial for estimating carbon emissions associated with forests, assessing forest degradation, and evaluating the success of forest restoration efforts. However, forest structure quantification is limited to the area of interest without considering the whole forest coverage. Forest structure may be easily assessed over a wide area using data from remote sensing. Thus, by combining ground observation with satellite-based light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and Sentinel 2 …
