An approach integrating forest allometric relationships into Lidar models is proposed in a consistent and comprehensive way. This approach, generic and reliable, fits a large iversity of stands and flight conditions (e.g. coniferous/broadleaves; mountain/lowland stands), and use only a limited number of Lidar metrics.
