Evaluating LiDAR‐Derived Structural Metrics for Predicting Bee Assemblages in Managed Forests by Marissa H. Chase, Alexandra Harmon‐Threatt, Samuel F. Stickley, Brian Charles, Jennifer M. Fraterrigo

“…We addressed three specific questions: (1) How does forest management affect structural complexity; (2) Can structural metrics predict bee diversity and abundance in spring and summer; and (3) How are structural metrics related to bee functional trait composition? We found that LiDAR‐derived structural metrics could not differentiate between management types and were weak predictors of bee diversity and abundance and bee functional trait composition. …”
