<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This dataset represents Tree Approximate Objects (TAOs) derived from 2010 QL1-grade USGS LiDAR for the Lake Tahoe Basin. The U.S. Forest Service Remote Sensing Laboratory (USFS RSL) processed the LiDAR point cloud to delineate individual tree crowns and estimate associated attributes, including imputed diameter at breast height (DBH). The imputation model estimates DBH values up to a maximum of 48 inches; however, some individual trees in the Basin may exceed this size. The dataset displayed here includes only trees with a model-imputed DBH greater than 36 inches, representing large-diameter trees in the Lake Tahoe Basin.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
