Evaluation of Path Length Correction for Forest Canopies Over Sloping Terrains: Theoretical Derivations and Computer Simulations

Abstract: Topography distorts the angular distribution of the canopy gap fraction (GF). Path length (PL) correction is a simple and effective method to harmonize this distortion and improve canopy ...
