Abstract
Dataset includes LiDAR features for 35 forest plots located at the Calhoun CZO. Both LiDAR data acquisition and field measurements using LAI-2000 (LI-COR, 1992) were performed during summer 2014. LAI-2000 is an optical device used to estimate Leaf Area Index (LAI, hemisurface area of foliage per unit horizontal ground surface area) and canopy gap fraction at five zenith angles. The LiDAR data were processed to match with the LAI-2000 measurements, and thus LiDAR returns arriving at angles more than 15 degrees were excluded before any calculations were performed.
Processing chain of LiDAR data included: 1) merging .las files which have forest plots near the edges, 2) calculating the ground surface, 3) removing noise, 4) removing duplicates, 5) extracting returns for the forest plots using a 15-m circle, 6) excluding returns arriving at an angle bigger than ±15 degrees, 7) calculation of return heights, 8) classifying returns to ground and vegetation based on return heights (limit set to 1.37-m), 9) calculation of LiDAR features for all forest plots.
The LiDAR features provided in this dataset are updated version of those presented earlier by Majasalmi et al. (2015).

Definitions:
cov = The canopy cover is computed as the number of first returns above the height cutoff divided by the
number of all first returns and output as a percentage.
dns = canopy density is computed as the number of points above the height cutoff divided by the number of all returns.
For more details see Korhonen and Morsdorf, 2013:
FCI = First echo cover index:
FCI=((∑〖Single〗_Canopy+∑〖First〗_Canopy))⁄((∑〖Single〗_All+∑〖First〗_All))
VCC1 and VCC2 = Vertical canopy cover indices:
VCC1=FCI-0.6233*θ_Scan
VCC2=FCI-0.0253θ_ScanF_Max
SCI = near-vertical canopy closure or “Solberg's cover index”:
SCI=∑〖Single〗_Canopy+0.5 ((∑〖First〗_Canopy+∑〖Last〗_Canopy ))⁄(∑〖Single〗_All )+0.5(∑〖First〗_All+∑〖Last〗_All )
ACI = “All echo cover index”, similar to FCI, but take into account all echo types above the height threshold:
ACI=(∑〖All〗_Canopy)⁄(∑All)
