Recognizing the imperative need for biodiversity protection, the convention on biological
diversity (CBD) has recently established new targets towards 2020, the so-called Aichi …

The contemporary carbon balance over the Tibetan Plateau is highly uncertain with a ten-
fold difference between various estimates. In a warming world, the potential exists for a large …

It is important to improve the accuracy of models estimating aboveground biomass (AGB) in
large areas with complex geography and high forest heterogeneity. In this study, k-nearest …

Quantification of forest aboveground biomass density (AGB) is useful in forest carbon cycle
studies, biodiversity protection and climate-change mitigation actions. However, a finer …

Medium spatial resolution biomass is a crucial link from the plot to regional and global
scales. Although remote-sensing data-based methods have become a primary approach in …

Forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is of great significance since it represents large carbon
storage and may reduce global climate change. However, there are still considerable …

Accurate estimates of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) are necessary for the accurate
tracking of forest carbon stock. Gaofen-7 (GF-7) is the first civilian sub-meter three …

Regional carbon sink estimation and local forest management require spatially explicit maps
of bamboo distribution. However, accurate bamboo mapping is challenging due to the …

Vegetation height is an important parameter for biomass assessment and vegetation
classification. However, vegetation height data over large areas are difficult to obtain. The …

Full-waveform LiDAR (FWL) decomposition results often act as the basis for key LiDAR-
derived products, for example canopy height, biomass and carbon pool estimation, leaf area …
