13 January 2023 terrestrial LiDAR scans capture two overlapping 3D point clouds for a nearly 18,000 m² wooded area in Nottinghamshire, UK. The dataset provides forest structure measurements for trees infested with common ivy (Hedera helix) and a non-infested sample, collected for a study on associated soil organisms.
Use Cases
- Compare canopy structure and 3D point cloud metrics between liana-infested and non-infested tree samples.
- Analyze forest structural complexity from the 3D point clouds to assess liana impact on habitat.
- Model tree architecture and biomass using terrestrial LiDAR-derived point cloud data.
- Study spatial relationships between liana presence and forest floor characteristics from the scanned area.
Strengths
- Covers a defined area of nearly 18,000 square meters.
- Provides comparative data with both infested and non-infested tree samples.
- Data acquired with a terrestrial LiDAR scanner on a specific date (13 January 2023).
Limitations
- Single-date capture limits temporal analysis and seasonal change detection.
- Geographic scope is restricted to one specific park woodland in Nottinghamshire.
- Data format (ZIP/point clouds) requires specialized software and skills for processing.
