10 10 Airborne Laser Scanning Data ALS data appropriate for ABA may be characterized by: Small scan angles (< ± 12 degrees) A minimum of 1 pulse per square metre and > 4+ pulses per square metre for dense forests on complex terrain A sensor capable of recording a minimum of 2 returns per pulse (4-5 returns/pulse is typical) 50% overlap of adjacent flight swaths A single survey, at the same time, with the same instrument Leaf-on or leaf-off, but not a mix of both Minimum ALS products required for the area-based approach are the bare earth DEM and the classified (unfiltered) ALS point cloud The point cloud should contain all valid returns Appendix 1 provides suggested listing of details required for a RFP for data acquisition
11 Airborne Laser Scanning Data: Quality assessment 11 LiDAR instrument(s) used (could be more than one) Acquisition parameters (and documentation) (e.g., date[s], altitude) Environmental conditions during acquisition (specifically fog and precipitation) Processing methods (and documentation), including software and specific procedures followed Projection/datum information Spatial coverage of the LAS files and DEMs provided (i.e., complete spatial coverage provided, no gaps in acquisition) Adherence to fundamental, supplemental, and consolidated vertical accuracy requirements Content of the LAS files provided (i.e., are the returns classified appropriately and consistently? Is scan angle provided?) Reported pulse density

19 Generation of Point Cloud Metrics: Tiling of area of interest 19 Processing of metrics is computing intensive and typically requires the area of interest to be divided into manageable size units for the sake of processing efficiency (i.e., 5 km by 5 km pieces) Processing then iterates by tile Output metrics are then mosaicked to create a single, wall-to-wall metric for the area of interest

24 Ground Plot Data Characteristics: Size 24 Larger plots are needed to: Reduce perimeter-to-area ratio
25 Ground Plot Data Characteristics: Size 25 Larger plots are needed to: Reduce perimeter-to-area ratio Reduce likelihood of edge effects A B
26 Ground Plot Data Characteristics: Size 26 Larger plots are needed to: Reduce perimeter-to-area ratio Reduce likelihood of edge effects Minimize geolocation error
27 Ground Plot Data Characteristics: Size 27 Larger plots are needed to: Reduce perimeter-to-area ratio Reduce likelihood of edge effects Minimize geolocation error No universal optimum plots size m 2 minimize edge effects minimize planimetric co-registration error maximize sampling efficiency, precision, and accuracy of target and explanatory variables
28 Ground Plot Data Characteristics: Shape 28 Fixed-area circular plots are preferred circular plots more common in the literature easier to establish 13% less perimeter than square plots of equal area
29 Ground Plot Data Characteristics: Other considerations 29 Timing of acquisition: Recommend ground data acquired after ALS acquisition; ALS metrics calculated and used to guide sample selection and location Need to minimize the time elapsed between ground and ALS data collection (within one growing season) Specific canopy conditions occurring at the time of both ground and ALS data collection (i.e., seasonal growth stages or leafon/leaf-off conditions where deciduous species are present).

39 39 Modelling Parametric regression Random forests Advantages Transparent, easy to understand. Model is an equation that clearly quantifies the relationship between the predictors and the variable being predicted. Sample size determination is possible for given accuracy and precision requirements. Categorical variables may be predicted and (or) used as predictors. Faster and simpler to develop (does not require sophisticated statistical expertise). Does not require individual strata based models to be developed, provided calibration data represent the different strata involved. Does not require a pre-existing polygon-based inventory to implement strata-based models. Disadvantages Transformation of ALS metrics (X) or ground plot measures may be necessary to meet the assumptions of regression-based approaches, complicating interpretation and implementation. More statistical expertise and time are required to create the models. With strata-specific models, pre-existing stratification across the entire forest (i.e., an existing inventory layer) becomes prerequisite to implementation. Prediction errors will occur within polygons when individual grid cells do not match the overall strata assignment (e.g., pockets of aspen within a spruce polygon). Black box nature of the models. No equation output that is analogous to parametric regression. More critical to ensure that the full range of conditions are sampled, as this approach does not extrapolate like regression.
