In this study, in order to measure the three-dimensional structure of forest, a new technique using a laser scanner was developed in a five-year-old Japanese larch community with a tree height of about 5 m grown at the experimental field of the National Institute for Environmental Studies. The Japanese larch community was divided into cubic cells, and plant area density (PAD) was calculated for each cubic cell from the gap fraction, which is the probability that a laser beam passes through a cubic cell. Leaf area density (LAD) was estimated from the difference between PAD measured in November 2003 and wood area density (WAD) measured in March 2004. Average plant inclination angle (APIA) and average leaf inclination angle (ALIA) were also calculated.<br>In order to verify a measuring method with a laser scanner, a comparison with the vertical distribution of LAD measured by the stratified clipping method was conducted. Although PAD measured with the laser scanner overestimated LAD measured by the stratified clipping method by a factor of two (r²=0.98), the relation of 1:1 was found by LAD measured with the laser scanner and measured by the stratified clipping method (r²=0.94). The vertical distribution of LAD had a peak from 1 m to 2 m, and was well in agreement with the vertical distribution measured by the stratified clipping method. The three-dimensional distribution of LAD showed not only vertical distribution but also horizontal heterogeneity of canopy. ALIA calculated as an average of canopy was 57.5 degrees. In conclusion, the method with the laser scanner was able to measure the three-dimensional structure of forest.
