Abstract:The assessment of fire effects in Aleppo pine forests is crucial for guiding the recovery of burnt areas. This study presents a methodology using UAV-LiDAR data to quantify malleability and elasticity in four burnt areas (1970, 1995, 2008 and 2015) through the statistical analysis of different metrics related to height structure and diversity (Height mean, 99th percentile and Coefficient of Variation), coverage, relative shape and distribution strata (Canopy Cover, Canopy Relief Ratio and Strata Percent Covera… Show more
