Resumé	Tree height measurement—determining the vertical distance from ground to tree top—is a cornerstone of forest inventory and biomass estimation. Ranging from classical optical instruments (clinometer, Abney level) to modern laser hypsometers and airborne LiDAR, tree height quantification enables calculation of volume, biomass, site index (productivity), and forest structural characterization essential for management, research, and carbon accounting.	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.
