“…ALS shows the greatest utility in river corridor vegetation monitoring. At reach scales, ALS has been used for riparian zone classification (Antonarakis, Richards, & Brasington, ; Gilvear, Tyler, & Davids, ; Michez et al, ), assessment of wood and debris retention (Abalharth, Hassan, Klinkenberg, Leung, & McCleary, ; Bertoldi, Gurnell, & Welber, ), upscaling from TLS models (Manners et al, ), creating rainfall interception models (Berezowski, Chormanski, Kleniewska, & SzporakâWasilewska, ), and for linking vegetation to morphological and anthropogenic contexts and needs (Bertoldi, Gurnell, & Drake, ; Cartisano et al, ; Picco, Comiti, Mao, Tonon, & Lenzi, ). At landform scales, ALS has been used to identify sources and volumes of woody debris (Kasprak, Magilligan, Nislow, & Snyder, ), the health of riparian ecosystems (Michez et al, ), the influence of vegetation on groundwater connectivity (Emanuel, Hazen, McGlynn, & Jencso, ), bank stability (McMahon et al, ), and water temperature through shading (Greenberg, Hestir, Riano, Scheer, & Ustin, ; Loicq, Moatar, Jullian, Dugdale, & Hannah, ; Wawrzyniak, Allemand, Bailly, Lejot, & Piegay, ).…”
