Terrestrial and Airborne Lidar to Quantify Shrub Cover for Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis) Habitat Using Machine Learning

MB&G’s Peter Gould has just published a new article about a great use of terrestrial and airborne lidar to identify habitat for the endangered Canada lynx in northeast Washington. This is a great application of terrestrial lidar in use. Typical methods used to identify lynx habitat using horizontal cover metrics are time consuming and somewhat inexact while terrestrial lidar gives you excellent horizontal cover data relatively quickly.
