1 INTRODUCTION With the development of Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing technology, many large-scale and complex spatial datasets are now available in the ecological domain. The growing availability of big data may have driven ecology into a new era of data mining-based multidisciplinary science (Kanevski et al., 2009; Mccallen et al., 2019).

Changes in canopy complexity Exterior and interior canopy complexities (i.e. TR and Gini, respectively) in general increased after pulse disturbances (Figure 4). For example, median values of TR significantly increased by more than 20% after the pulse disturbances occurred (p < 0.05, Figure ). In addition, median values of Gini significantly increased by more than 40% after the CAK defoliation, but not significant after SPM and wildfire disturbances occurred (Figure ).
