Forest Canopy Height

Satellite derived remote sensed tree canopy height computation illustrating estimated canopy height at 10m resolution in 2020. Geospatially derived forest canopy height is a measure of the average height of the trees in a forested area, as determined using geographic information systems (GIS) technology. This information can be obtained from various sources, such as satellite data. Forest canopy height is an important indicator of the health and productivity of a forest, and can provide valuable information for monitoring and managing forest resources.
