This dataset provides individual detected trees for selected Swiss Cantons (Appenzell Outer-Rhodes - AR, Grisons - GR, Nidwald - NW, Obwald - OW and St. Gall - SG), including the derived diameter at breast height and the derived NFI development stage. Data show the Individual detected trees (ITD) with the x- and y-positions of each detected tree based on a spike-free vegetation height model based on nationwide LiDAR data. The shapefile contains the following attributes: tree height [m] (Height), estimated diameter at breast height [cm] (BHD), and the NFI development stage (Ent; 1: young growth/thicket ( 50 cm).
