Abstract
In the present paper, we introduce a high-resolution spatiotemporal point cloud time series, acquired using a LiDAR sensor mounted 30 metres above ground on a flux observation tower monitoring a boreal forest. The dataset comprises a 18-month long (April 2020 - September 2021) time series with an average interval of 3.5 days between observations. The data acquisition, transfer, and storage systems established at Hyytiälä (Finland) are named the LiDAR Phenology station (LiPhe). The dataset consists of 103 time points of LiDAR point clouds covering a total of 458 individual trees, comprising three distinct Boreal species. Additional reference information includes the respective location, the species, and the initial height (at the first time point) of each individual tree. The processing scripts are included to outline the workflow used to generate the individual tree point clouds (LiPheKit). The presented dataset offers a comprehensive insight into inter- and intra-species variations of the individual trees regarding their growth strategies, phenological dynamics, and other functioning processes over two growth seasons.
期刊介绍:
Scientific Data is an open-access journal focused on data, publishing descriptions of research datasets and articles on data sharing across natural sciences, medicine, engineering, and social sciences. Its goal is to enhance the sharing and reuse of scientific data, encourage broader data sharing, and acknowledge those who share their data.
The journal primarily publishes Data Descriptors, which offer detailed descriptions of research datasets, including data collection methods and technical analyses validating data quality. These descriptors aim to facilitate data reuse rather than testing hypotheses or presenting new interpretations, methods, or in-depth analyses.
