Using LiDAR to develop high-resolution reference models of forest structure and spatial pattern

•LiDAR can be used to accurately quantify overstory structure and pattern at tree-neighborhood, stand, and landscape scales.•Forest structure and spatial pattern vary significantly across topographic settings in a reference forested landscape.•Considering landscape context is essential to the develo...
