A recent submission, entitled “Assessing effect of dominant land-cover types and pattern on urban forest biomass estimated using LiDAR metrics” was accepted to be published in the journal Urban Ecosystems.
The study examines the relationship between biomass and land cover from three
perspectives. First, we examine the local effects of dominant land cover types on urban forest biomass. Second, identify the spatial scale at which dominant land cover influences biomass estimates. Finally, investigate whether the fine-scale spatial heterogeneity of the urban landscape contributes to forest biomass.
