研究目的
The main objectives of this study included (1) a quantitative analysis of the influence of TLS data on DBH estimation of tree species with different bark roughness and trunk curvature, and (2) to optimize the QSM algorithm based on 100 trees of 10 different species. (3) We estimated the AGB of 10 tree species with different biophysical and morphological structures using a non-destructive method, and the estimation accuracy of AGB of trees was evaluated by comparing with the results of the regional allometric biomass model of specific tree species from specific areas.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that the non-destructive TLS-QSM method can accurately estimate the AGB of trees with different morphological and topological structures. The method showed strong agreement with reference AGB values from specific allometric biomass models, indicating its potential for developing and calibrating allometric biomass models, especially for large trees and precious tree species that are not usually harvested and measured.
研究不足
The study did not harvest trees to compare the AGB estimated from TLS data with the actual value of biomass. The point cloud data of some trees were affected by leaves, leading to discrepancies in the modeling of branches. The study did not consider the biomass of leaves, which accounts for about 10% of the total AGB.
