Robust ALS processing at two Dutch sites

This dataset provides an example workflow with the airborne laser scanning processing pipeline described and tested in Fischer et al. 2024, Methods in Ecology and Evolution (https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.14416). The pipeline is applied to four national ALS surveys of the Netherlands (AHN2–AHN5) at two sites (Hulshorst, Veluwe). The source data can be found at https://www.ahn.nl (CC-BY 4.0). 

NOTE: The pipeline requires a recent distribution of the lidar processing software LAStools (https://rapidlasso.de/product-overview/) as well as a valid license.

01_raw: contains the raw data + a metadata file necessary for processing

02_ancillary: contains ancillary flightline data to obtain scanning dates + the pipeline scripts

03_processed: contains the processed products

Further details can be found in the reference publication and in the INFO files provided with each processed dataset.
