Woody Biomass Sustainability for Bioenergy Production in West Virginia
West Virginia is the third most heavily forested state in the U.S. and produces 2.41 million dry tons of wood residues annually. These wood wastes are sustainable and can be used as feedstock for biofuels, bio-gas and green electricity. Biomass sustainability, efficient harvesting, extraction, and transportation of woody biomass are the key to the economic success of wood residue utilization. T...
متن کاملExtraction of Non-forest Trees for Biomass Assessment Based on Airborne and Terrestrial LiDAR Data
The main goal of the federal funded project ‘LiDAR based biomass assessment’ is the nationwide investigation of the biomass potential coming from wood cuttings of non-forest trees. In this context, first and last pulse airborne laserscanning (F+L) data serve as preferred database. First of all, mandatory field calibrations are performed for pre-defined grove types. For this purpose, selected re...
متن کاملNon-destructive Method for Estimating Biomass of Plants Using Digital Camera Images
Abstract Plant growth and biomass assessments are required in production and research. Such assessments are followed by major decisions (e.g., harvest timing) that channel resources and influence outcomes. In research, resources required to assess crop status affect other aspects of experimentation and, therefore, discovery. Destructive harvests are important because they influence treatment s...
متن کاملNon Destructive Method for Biomass Prediction Combining TLS Derived Tree Volume and Wood Density
This paper presents a method for predicting the above ground leafless biomass of trees in a non destructive way. We utilize terrestrial laserscan data to predict the volume of the trees. Combining volume estimates with density measurements leads to biomass predictions. Thirty-six trees of three different species are analyzed: evergreen coniferous Pinus massoniana, evergreen broadleaved Erythrop...
متن کاملImproving Species Diversity and Biomass Estimates of Tropical Dry Forests Using Airborne LiDAR
The spatial distribution of plant diversity and biomass informs management decisions to maintain biodiversity and carbon stocks in tropical forests. Optical remotely sensed data is often used for supporting such activities; however, it is difficult to estimate these variables in areas of high biomass. New technologies, such as airborne LiDAR, have been used to overcome such limitations. LiDAR h...
