Mt Kenya's Forest structure data

Kuvaus

These data consist of Plant Area Density (PAD) estimates extracted from Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) point clouds, along two transect in Mt Kenya, Kenya. The measurements were made during February 2019, using a RIEGL VZ-400i. The data were collected in 16 forest plots at different elevations (from 1730 m to 2450 m asl) on two slope directions, north-south and northwest-southeast orientations, thus totaling 288 TLS measurements. The TLS point clouds were processed using AMAPVox software (Vincent et al., 2021), where PAD values were estimated in voxels of 1m^3. Data structure: x = Horizontal x coordinate of the voxel in meters based on a local coordinate x = 0 y = Horizontal y coordinate of the voxel in meters based on a local coordinate y = 0 z = Vertical z coordinate of the voxel in meters based on a local coordinate z = 0 gdist = Distance from the ground in meters. Differs from z because the terrain elevation is not flat PAD = Plant Area Density derived from TLS measurements (m2 m-3) Plot = The quadrat number, from 1 to 16 Elevation = the mean elevation of that plot in meters Transect = Name of the transect. It contains "South" and "Southeast" Date = Date of the TLS measurement (Year-Month) References: VINCENT, Gregoire; PIMONT, François; VERLEY, Philippe, 2021, "A note on PAD/LAD estimators implemented in AMAPVox 1.7", https://doi.org/10.23708/1AJNMP, DataSuds, V1
