However, the in-depth mining and comprehending of the significance of features derived from high-resolution UAV data for tree species discrimination remains a difficult task. In this study, a state-of-the-art approach combining UAV-borne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and hyperspectral was used to classify 11 common tree species in a typical natural secondary forest in Northeast China. First, comprehensive relevant structural and spectral features were extracted. Then, the most valuable feature sets were selected by using a hybrid approach combining correlation-based feature selection with the optimized recursive feature elimination algorithm. The random forest algorithm was used to assess feature importance and perform the classification. Finally, the robustness of features derived from point clouds with different structures and hyperspectral images with different spatial resolutions was tested. Our results showed that the best classification accuracy was obtained by combining LiDAR and hyperspectral data (75.7%) compared to that based on LiDAR (60.0%) and hyperspectral (64.8%) data alone. The mean intensity of single returns and the visible atmospherically resistant index for red-edge band were the most influential LiDAR and hyperspectral derived features, respectively. The selected features were robust in point clouds with a density not lower than 5% (~5 pts/m2) and a resolution not lower than 0.3 m in hyperspectral data. Although canopy surface features were slightly different from original LiDAR features, canopy surface information was also important for tree species classification. This study proved the capabilities of UAV-borne LiDAR and hyperspectral data in natural secondary forest tree species discrimination and the potential for this approach to be transferable to other study areas.
