In June 2026, LiDAR Principles, Processing and Applications in Forest Ecology (Second Edition) was officially published by Higher Education Press. The book is co-authored by Professor Qinghua Guo, Professor Yanjun Su, Research Assistant Professor Kai Cheng, and Associate Professor Tianyu Hu.
Building upon the first edition and its English version, this new edition integrates and upgrades both, featuring a scientifically optimized structure. It comprehensively covers the origin and development of LiDAR technology, its fundamental principles, and cutting-edge applications across multiple dimensions, including forestry monitoring, ecological conservation, and urban 3D green space accounting. The book focuses on the extraction of forest structural and functional parameters, 3D radiative transfer modeling, 3D visualization, and ecological dynamic monitoring. It also incorporates recent breakthroughs in high-accuracy multi-sensor and multi-platform data acquisition and efficient information extraction under complex environments, providing a complete technical solution for both research and practice.
This book serves as an essential reference for university faculty and students in remote sensing, ecology, vegetation science, as well as for researchers in related fields such as climatology, hydrology, environmental science, urban planning, meteorology, and disaster prevention.
