In this paper a study on the use of multi-temporal LiDAR

data to monitor forest changes is presented. LiDAR data

acquired at two different times (2007 and 2011) were

chosen in order to analyze in details the changes associated

to different forest conditions in the temporal domain such

as tree growth, tree cuts, and changes in forest volume. The

preliminary experimental results show that LiDAR data

allow an effective and accurate monitoring of the forest

changes
