Estimation of Aboveground Biomass in Alpine Forests: A Semi-Empirical Approach Considering Canopy Transparency Derived from Airborne LiDAR Data
In this study, a semi-empirical model that was originally developed for stem volume estimation is used for aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation of a spruce dominated alpine forest. The reference AGB of the available sample plots is calculated from forest inventory data by means of biomass expansion factors. Furthermore, the semi-empirical model is extended by three different canopy transparency...
متن کاملA linear regression method for tree canopy height estimation using airborne lidar data
Tree canopy height is one of the most fundamental measurements in forest inventory and is a critical variable in the quantitative assessment of tree (or stand) volume, forest biomass, carbon stocks, growth, and site productivity. In this study, we analyzed two traditional methods for tree canopy height estimation and designed a new linear regression method for improved tree canopy height estima...
متن کاملTree-Species Classification in Subtropical Forests Using Airborne Hyperspectral and LiDAR Data
Accurate classification of tree-species is essential for sustainably managing forest resources and effectively monitoring species diversity. In this study, we used simultaneously acquired hyperspectral and LiDAR data from LiCHy (Hyperspectral, LiDAR and CCD) airborne system to classify tree-species in subtropical forests of southeast China. First, each individual tree crown was extracted using ...
متن کاملCombined Use of Airborne Lidar and DBInSAR Data to Estimate LAI in Temperate Mixed Forests
The objective of this study was to determine whether leaf area index (LAI) in temperate mixed forests is best estimated using multiple-return airborne laser scanning (lidar) data or dual-band, single-pass interferometric synthetic aperture radar data (from GeoSAR) alone, or both in combination. In situ measurements of LAI were made using the LiCor LAI-2000 Plant Canopy Analyzer on 61 plots (21 ...
متن کاملTowards Automated Characterization of Canopy Layering in Mixed Temperate Forests Using Airborne Laser Scanning
Canopy layers form essential structural components, affecting stand productivity and wildlife habitats. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) provides horizontal and vertical information on canopy structure simultaneously. Existing approaches to assess canopy layering often require prior information about stand characteristics or rely on pre-defined height thresholds. We developed a multi-scale method ...
