Forests hold vital ecological significance, and the ability to accurately classify tree species is integral to conservation and management practices. This research investigates the application of machine learning techniques to airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for the multi-class classification of tree species, specifically Alder, Aspen, Birch, Fir, Pine, Spruce, and Tilia. High-density LiDAR data from varied forest landscapes were subjected to a rigorous preprocessing and noise
