Estimating urban above ground biomass with multi-scale LiDAR [PDF]

Carbon Balance and Management, 2018
Background Urban trees have long been valued for providing ecosystem services (mitigation of the “heat island” effect, suppression of air pollution, etc.); more recently the potential of urban forests to store significant above ground biomass (AGB) has ...

Remote Sensing of Above-Ground Biomass [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2017
Accurate measurement and mapping of biomass is a critical component of carbon stock quantification, climate change impact assessment, suitability and location of bio-energy processing plants, assessing fuel for forest fires, and assessing merchandisable ...

ReUse: REgressive Unet for Carbon Storage and Above-Ground Biomass Estimation. [PDF]

J Imaging, 2023
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has recently established the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) program, which requires countries to report their carbon emissions and sink estimates through national greenhouse gas inventories (NGHGI).

Mangrove Above‐Ground Biomass and Production Are Related to Forest Age at Low Isles, Great Barrier Reef [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Above‐ground biomass contributes a large proportion of mangrove carbon stock; however, spatio‐temporal dynamics of biomass are poorly understood in carbonate settings of the Southern Hemisphere.

Above-ground biomass and structure of 260 African tropical forests. [PDF]

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2013
We report above-ground biomass (AGB), basal area, stem density and wood mass density estimates from 260 sample plots (mean size: 1.2 ha) in intact closed-canopy tropical forests across 12 African countries. Mean AGB is 395.7 Mg dry mass ha −1 (95% CI: 14.3), substantially higher than ...

Height-diameter allometry and above ground biomass in tropical montane forests: Insights from the Albertine Rift in Africa. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Tropical montane forests provide an important natural laboratory to test ecological theory. While it is well-known that some aspects of forest structure change with altitude, little is known on the effects of altitude on above ground biomass (AGB ...

High Throughput Determination of Plant Height, Ground Cover, and Above-Ground Biomass in Wheat with LiDAR [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Crop improvement efforts are targeting increased above-ground biomass and radiation-use efficiency as drivers for greater yield. Early ground cover and canopy height contribute to biomass production, but manual measurements of these traits, and in ...
