It is particularly necessary on oceanic islands where their rich biodiversity is highly vulnerable, with many narrow-ranged endemic species. Quantifying and mapping forest health through key ecological variables are essential steps for management, but it will also be challenging and may require a lot of resources. Remote sensing has the potential to be a very useful tool to assess the development and conservation status of forests. We assessed the applicability of the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) on the laurel forests of La Gomera, making allometric equations for various measurements of the forest structure, linking field inventory from 2019 and 2017 LiDAR data through standard linear regressions. Decision trees and logistic regressions were also used to assess the performance of LiDAR in the recognition of young-growth and old-growth laurel forests. The obtained allometric models were a good fit in general and their predictions were in line with already known data. Likewise, decision tree and logistic regression to distinguish young-growth and old-growth forests had a similar performance in both cases, with a high to medium-high degree of accuracy. Therefore, LiDAR was revealed to be a useful tool for the monitoring of the laurel forest by the managers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14040994","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,21]],"date-time":"2022-02-21T08:23:29Z","timestamp":1645431809000},"page":"994","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Assessing the Usefulness of LiDAR for Monitoring the Structure of a Montane Forest on a Subtropical Oceanic Island"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1653-3998","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jes\u00fas","family":"Parada-D\u00edaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Plant Conservation and Biogeography Research Group, Departamento de Bot\u00e1nica Ecolog\u00eda y Fisiolog\u00eda Vegetal, Universidad de La Laguna, C\/Astrof\u00edsico Francisco S\u00e1nchez, s\/n, 38200 La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain"}]},{"given":"\u00c1ngel B.","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Parque Nacional de Garajonay, Edificio las Creces, Local 1, Portal 3, C\/Ruiz de Padr\u00f3n y Avenida del 5\u00b0 Centenario, 38800 San Sebasti\u00e1n de la Gomera, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain"}]},{"given":"Luis A.","family":"G\u00f3mez Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TRAGSATEC Grupo TRAGSA, Gerencia de Tragsatec UT 4.
