Forest gap dynamics with repeat lidar in Berchtesgaden National Park - Data and analysis scripts

This repository holds data and code for the paper: Krüger, K., Senf, C., Jucker, T., Pflugmacher, D., Seidl, R. (2024). Gap expansion is the dominant driver of canopy openings in a temperate mountain forest landscape. Journal of Ecology. http://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.14320

NOTE: This is a static repository, but the project might evolve. See the connected GitHub repository for latest updates!

All data to reproduce the results are available, all other layers can be generated with the code provided in this repository. The Canopy Height Models underlying the analysis and respective processing scripts for the lidar data, are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request. Gap layers derived from the Canopy Height Models are available in this repository.

Empty folders are set up to follow the directory structure of the scripts.
