This dataset contains raster layers at 1-m resolution representing the canopy height model (CHM) and digital terrain model (DTM) of the Sabah Biodiversity Experiment (SBE), Sabah, Malaysia. CHM and DTM were created from airborne LiDAR point cloud data collected at SBE in 2020. The data were collected to assess the effectiveness of different restoration interventions for speeding up the recovery of logged tropical forests in SE Asia.
