MoscowMtStJoe: Moscow Mountain and St. Joe Woodlands (Idaho, USA) Tree and LiDAR Data

Description

Data used to compare the utility of discrete-return light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data and multispectral satellite imagery, and their integration, for modeling and mapping basal area and tree density across two diverse coniferous forest landscapes in north-central Idaho, USA.
