Dataset of tree canopy structure, understory reflectance spectra and fractional cover in hemiboreal and temperate forest areas in Estonia and the Czech Republic
The dataset includes understory spectral reflectance factors at wavelengths of 350–2500 nm, fractional cover data of understory, forest inventory data, and data on the light availability at forest floor (diffuse non-interceptance, DIFN) and tree canopy structure (effective plant area index, PAIe) in...

Zusammenfassung: | The dataset includes understory spectral reflectance factors at wavelengths of 350–2500 nm, fractional cover data of understory, forest inventory data, and data on the light availability at forest floor (diffuse non-interceptance, DIFN) and tree canopy structure (effective plant area index, PAIe) in hemiboreal and temperate forests in Europe. The data were collected near peak growing seasons 2019–2020 in situ in total of 31 forest stands in a hemiboreal study site in Estonia (13 stands: 58°17’N, 27°19’E), and temperate mountain (8 stands: 49°30′N, 18°32′E) and floodplain (10 stands: 48°41′N, 16°57′E) sites in the Czech Republic.
The first spread sheet contains descriptions of the variables, second spread sheet the stand characteristics, and third the spectral data.
