Canopy Strata & Satellite LiDAR Waveform
Hyper-tall Dipterocarp Old-growth
Synthetic Multi-Tier Strata Profile (Height vs Canopy Cover)
Satellite GEDI/LiDAR Waveform Return (Vertical Energy dB)
Biophysical Decoupling Mechanism: Asian Dipterocarp stands accumulate exceptional carbon through hyper-tall emergent crown architecture (48.5m+) coupled with higher wood density, despite moderate soil phosphorus limitation.
