Canopy Cover Estimation
Canopy cover, or canopy closure, is the proportion of ground area covered by tree crowns when viewed from above, typically expressed as a percentage. Formalized by Jennings and colleagues in pioneering work on tropical forest structure, canopy cover estimation employs multiple methods—from field-based ocular assessment to sophisticated remote sensing and terrestrial LiDAR—providing essential data on forest structure, light availability, and habitat characteristics relevant to ecology, silviculture, and climate research.
