LiDAR-Assisted Multi-Source Program (LAMP) for Measuring Above Ground Biomass and Forest Carbon
Forest measurement for purposes like harvesting planning, biomass estimation and mitigating climate change through carbon capture by forests call for increasingly frequent forest measurement campaigns that need to balance cost with accuracy and precision. Often this implies the use of remote sensing based measurement methods. For any remote-sensing based methods to be accurate, they must be val...
متن کاملSampling and Mapping Forest Volume and Biomass Using Airborne LIDARs
—Since around 1995, extensive research efforts have been made in Scandinavia to develop airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) as an operational tool for wall-to-wall mapping of forest stands for planning purposes. Scanning LIDAR has the ability to capture the entire three-dimensional structure of forest canopies and has therefore proved to be a very efficient technique to determine bioph...
متن کاملUsing airborne & space lidars for large-area inventory
Boudreau et al (2008) reports on a three-phase statistical framework for estimating forest biomass and carbon using a space LiDAR – ICESat/GLAS – as a large-area sampling tool to inventory the Province of Quebec. An airborne profiling LiDAR was used to tie ground plot observations to GLAS pulses by overflying both plots and pulses to facilitate development of two sets of regression equations. T...
متن کاملLidar Aboveground Vegetation Biomass Estimates in Shrublands: Prediction, Uncertainties and Application to Coarser Scales
Our study objectives were to model the aboveground biomass in a xeric shrub-steppe landscape with airborne light detection and ranging (Lidar) and explore the uncertainty associated with the models we created. We incorporated vegetation vertical structure information obtained from Lidar with ground-measured biomass data, allowing us to scale shrub biomass from small field sites (1 m subplots an...
متن کاملDetection of large above-ground biomass variability in lowland forest ecosystems by airborne LiDAR
Quantification of tropical forest above-ground biomass (AGB) over large areas as input for Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) projects and climate change models is challenging. This is the first study which attempts to estimate AGB and its variability across large areas of tropical lowland forests in Central Kalimantan (Indonesia) through correlating airborne li...
