Regional estimation of current and future forest biomass.
The 90,674 wildland fires that burned 2.9 million ha at an estimated suppression cost of $1.6 billion in the United States during the 2000 fire season demonstrated that forest fuel loading has become a hazard to life, property, and ecosystem health as a result of past fire exclusion policies and practices. The fire regime at any given location in these regions is a result of complex interaction...
متن کاملForest Biomass Estimation using Polarimetric SAR Interferometry
Forest biomass is one of the most important parameters for global carbon stock modelling yet can only be estimated with great uncertainties. Unfortunately, conventional remote sensing techniques for the estimation of forest biomass are not able to provide estimates on a global scale. An alternative approach is based on forest height estimates from single frequency polarimetric-interferometric S...
متن کاملEstimation of Forest Biomass Using Multivariate
The objective of this study is to develop a method based on multivariate relevance vector regression (MVRVR) as a kernel-based Bayesian model for the estimation of above-ground biomass (AGB) in the Hyrcanian forests of Iran. Field AGB data from the Hyrcanian forests and multi-temporal PALSAR backscatter values are used for training and testing the methods. The results of the MVRVR method are th...
متن کاملForest aboveground biomass mapping and estimation across multiple spatial scales using model-based inference
Article history: Received 14 April 2016 Received in revised form 29 June 2016 Accepted 16 July 2016 Available online xxxx Remotely sensed data have beenwidely used in recent years for mapping and estimating biomass. However, the characterization of the uncertainty of mapped or estimated biomass in previous studies was either based on adhoc approaches (e.g., usingmodel fitting statistics such ro...
متن کاملAbove-Ground Biomass and Biomass Components Estimation Using LiDAR Data in a Coniferous Forest
This study aims to estimate forest above-ground biomass and biomass components in a stand of Picea crassifolia (a coniferous tree) located on Qilian Mountain, western China via low density small-footprint airborne LiDAR data. LiDAR points were first classified into ground points and vegetation points. After, vegetation statistics, including height quantiles, mean height, and fractional cover we...
