Forest 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 کاملRemotely Sensed L-band Sar Data for Tropical Forest Biomass Estimation
HAMDAN O, KHALI AZIZ H & ABD RAHMAN K. 2011. Remotely sensed L-band SAR data for tropical forest biomass estimation. Several attempts have been made to obtain forest stand parameters such as stand volume, stand density, basal area, biomass and carbon (C) stocks from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. However the relationship between these parameters and radar backscatter has been a challengin...
متن کاملAmazonian landscapes and the bias in field studies of forest structure and biomass.
Tropical forests convert more atmospheric carbon into biomass each year than any terrestrial ecosystem on Earth, underscoring the importance of accurate tropical forest structure and biomass maps for the understanding and management of the global carbon cycle. Ecologists have long used field inventory plots as the main tool for understanding forest structure and biomass at landscape-to-regional...
متن کاملA wood density and aboveground biomass variability assessment using pre-felling inventory data in Costa Rica
BACKGROUND The high spatio-temporal variability of aboveground biomass (AGB) in tropical forests is a large source of uncertainty in forest carbon stock estimation. Due to their spatial distribution and sampling intensity, pre-felling inventories are a potential source of ground level data that could help reduce this uncertainty at larger spatial scales. Further, exploring the factors known to ...
متن کاملEffects of Model Choice and Forest Structure on Inventory-Based Estimations of Puerto Rican Forest Biomass
-TO~~~ aboveground live tree biomass in Puerto Rican lower montane wet, subtropical wet, subtropical moist and subtropical dry forests was estimated using data from two forest inventories and published regression equations. Multiple potentially-applicable published biomass models existed for some forested life zones, and their estimates tended to diverge with increasing tree diameter at breast ...
