Comparing Two Novel <scp>LiDAR</scp> ‐Based Indices for Quantifying Forest Structural Complexity
in interpretability, precision, or speed, and its proposed advantage in capturing higher complexity remains unsubstantiated. Despite their conceptual distinctions, their strong correlation suggests competitive rather than complementary roles. Future research should explore biome-specific variability and physiological links to ecosystem functions to refine their utility in forest management under climate change.
