On Bird Species Diversity and Remote Sensing—Utilizing Lidar and Hyperspectral Data to Assess the Role of Vegetation Structure and Foliage Characteristics as Drivers of Avian Diversity

摘要

Avian diversity has long been used as a surrogate for overall diversity. In forest ecosystems, it has been assumed that vegetation structure, composition, and condition have a significant impact on avian diversity. Today, these features can be evaluated v
