　　报告简介：

　　Accurate mapping of forest aboveground biomass is critical for reducing uncertainties in carbon monitoring and accounting systems.  Currently available regional to national scale products mostly rely on two-dimensional satellite data (i.e., multispectral and radar), hence they may have low sensitivity to canopy structure and biomass over high biomass stands and heterogeneous forests at fine scale.  To this end, this presentation will introduce the efforts we made to develop a robust, replicable and scalable framework that quantifies forest structure and aboveground biomass over large areas at fine resolution using airborne LiDAR and US Forest Inventory Analysis (FIA) plot data. The field-based estimates were related to LiDAR height and volume metrics through random forests models across four ecological regions in three Mid-Atlantic States in US.  Results show that the proposed framework can produce accurate estimates of biomass at fine spatial resolution.  Although different national products converge at coarser resolutions, our map reveals more details at finer scales.  Local, high-resolution LiDAR-derived biomass maps such as ours, provide a valuable bottom-up reference to improve the analysis and interpretation of large-scale mapping efforts, and can aid in future development of a national carbon monitoring system.
