Trees per acre (TPA) is a common forest structure measurement that provides a useful index of forest and habitat condition. Many other metrics can be derived from having...

This layer represents the number of distinct vertical canopy layers of trees. Vertical layer count is a proxy for leaf area index, and maps canopy complexity. Since LANDFIRE...

Basal area (BA) is a common forest structure measurement that provides a useful index of forest and habitat condition. Basal area is the cross-sectional area of the bole of a...
