Spaceborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR), including ICESat-2 and GEDI, supports large-scale forest aboveground biomass (AGB) mapping, but accurate estimation across heterogeneous forest types remains challenging. This study developed forest-type-specific footprint-level AGB equations using ICESat-2 and GEDI observations and integrated the derived footprint AGB labels with Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery in a U-Net framework to generate continuous AGB maps. After photon denoising and geolocation correction, GEDI RH95 showed stronger agreement with ALS-derived PH95 than ICESat-2 (R = 0.62–0.65 and 0.52–0.58, respectively), whereas ICESat-2 showed smaller bias magnitudes. At the footprint-level, the two sensors showed complementary performance. ICESat-2 performed better in broadleaf forests (R = 0.85, RMSE = 23.96 Mg/ha) and mixed forests (R = 0.89, RMSE = 20.39 Mg/ha), while GEDI performed better in coniferous forests (R = 0.85, RMSE = 22.50 Mg/ha). The U-Net model achieved improved regional AGB prediction with R = 0.91 and RMSE = 17.21 Mg/ha on the independent test set. These results demonstrate the value of combining ICESat-2, GEDI, Sentinel imagery, and deep learning for forest-type-specific AGB estimation and continuous biomass mapping.
Objective: The purpose of this article was to use the Random Forest method and nonlinear mixed-effects method to develop a model for determining tree height–diameter at breast height (DBH) for a natural coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest in Jilin Province and to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods to provide a basis for forest management practice. Method: Based on the Chinese national forest inventory data, the Random Forest method and nonlinear mixed-effects method were used to develop a tree height–DBH model for a natural coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest in Jilin Province. Results: The Random Forest method performed well on both the fitting set and validation set, with an R2 of 0.970, MAE of 0.605, and RMSE of 0.796 for the fitting set and R2 of 0.801, MAE of 1.44 m, and RMSE of 1.881 m for the validation set. Compared with the nonlinear mixed-effects method, the Random Forest model improved R2 by 33.83%, while the MAE and RMSE decreased by 67.74% and 66.44%, respectively, in the fitting set; the Random Forest model improved R2 by 9.88%, while the MAE and RMSE decreased by 14.38% and 12.05%, respectively, in the validation set. Conclusions: The tree height–DBH model constructed based on the Random Forest method had higher prediction accuracy for a natural coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest in Jilin Province and had stronger adaptability for higher-dimensional data, which can be used for tree height prediction in the study area.
Bamboo forests exhibit a unique efficient growth pattern that makes them invaluable in reducing atmospheric CO2 levels. Additionally, bamboo forests offer a diverse range of products, thus holding the potential to bolster local income. Despite these benefits, the comprehensive assessment of bamboo forests’ potential in both carbon abatement and improving local income enhancement has been hindered by the absence of a detailed bamboo biomass map. In this study, we address this gap by amalgamating a bamboo aboveground biomass (AGB) map covering three prominent producing provinces in southern China, utilizing multi-source remote sensing datasets. The results not only demonstrate a satisfactory consistency with China’s Ninth National Forest Inventory but also provide a more detailed spatial distribution. Based on this AGB estimation, we project an approximately threefold potential increase in annual bamboo culm harvest from existing bamboo forests. This represents a significant opportunity for expanding carbon abatement efforts, elevating local income levels, and facilitating the production of bamboo-derived biofuels. Furthermore, the adoption of an optimized management strategy has the potential to further enhance bamboo production. This study generates the first high-resolution bamboo AGB map and underscores the substantial potential of China’s bamboo forests in contributing to carbon sequestration and improving local income. The favorable income generated for local residents can serve as a compelling incentive for the implementation of sustainable forest management practices, offering a promising pathway toward achieving carbon-related objectives within the forestry sector and providing necessary support for forestry designation projects.
Turbidity is a water quality indicator that is essential for the sustainable development of aquatic ecosystems and the protection of biodiversity. The turbidity of different water surfaces and its response mechanisms to regional climatic factors and human activities in the Yangtze River Delta Region (YRDR), an important rapid economic development region in China, remain poorly understood. To enhance the knowledge of turbidity variations and dominant drivers of YRDR water surfaces, a complete long-term turbidity series was obtained using Landsat images from 1990 to 2020. The results show that the turbidity trend differed from -1.3 NTU/yr to 0.7 NTU/yr in different water surfaces. Turbidity decreased significantly in the mainstream of the Yangtze River (MYR), aquaculture ponds (AP) and other water bodies, whilst increasing significantly in the medium lakes (ML) and mainstream of the Qiantang River (MQR). Meanwhile, no significant changes in turbidity were observed in the great lakes (GL) and small lakes (SL). Rather than climatic factors, urbanisation and decreasing wastewater discharge were the dominant drivers of turbidity trends during the study period. In addition, ecological engineering in AP increased water transparency. The Three Gorges Dam also decreased turbidity in MYR. Increasing turbidity in the downstream of MQR was driven by increasing seasonal water surfaces and reclamation projects near Hangzhou Bay. GL faced no significant increase in turbidity due to the offset of afforestation to urbanisation-induced turbidity increase. These findings provide important information for government decision-making for subsequent aquatic environmental protection and restoration in the YRDR.
Forest biomass is an important indicator of forest ecosystem productivity, and it plays vital roles in the global carbon cycling, global climate change mitigating, and ecosystem researches. Multiscale, rapid, and accurate extraction of forest biomass information is always a research topic. In this study, comprehensive investigation of a larch (Larix olgensis) plantation was performed using remote sensing and field-based monitoring methods, in combination with LiDAR-based multisource data and machine learning methods. On this basis, a universal, multiscale (single tree, stand, management unit, and region), and unit-high-precision continuous monitoring method was proposed for forest biomass components. The results revealed the following. (1) Airborne LiDAR point cloud variables exhibited significant correlation with the aboveground components (except leaves) and the whole-plant biomass (Radj2 > 0.91), suitable for extraction or estimation of forest parameters such as biomass and stock volume. (2) In terms of biomass monitoring at forest stand and management unit scale, a random forest model performed well in fitting accuracy and generalization ability, whereas a multiple linear regression model produced clearer explanation regarding the biomass of each forest component. (3) Using seasonal phenological characteristics in the study area, larch distribution information was extracted effectively. The overall accuracy reached 90.0%, and the kappa coefficient reached 0.88. (4) A regional-scale forest biomass component estimation model was constructed using a long short-term memory model, which effectively reduced the probability of biomass underestimation while ensuring good estimation accuracy, with R2 exceeding 0.6 for the biomass of the aboveground and whole-plant components. This research provides theoretical support for rapid and accurate acquisition of large-scale forest biomass information.

As the important ecological barriers, Coastal shelter forest plays a key role in the aspect of soil and water conservation, wind prevention, sand-fixation and regional ecological security. Based on the 2005 Landsat TM images, by using the method of analytic hierarchy process and weighted comprehensive evaluation, five indices including frequency of tropical cyclone, population density, and density of arable land, real GDP and the per capita output value of the tertiary industry were selected to carry out the tropical cyclone risk assessment. Meanwhile, gradual easy constraint method was adopted to build a multi-objective programming model to make the spatial optimum allocation of coastal shelterbelt forest in Eastern Zhejiang province. The main conclusions are as follows: ① The area of coastal shelterbelt forest increased significantly with an increase of 5.4%, and the forest coverage rate increased form 48.70%to 51.30%; ②The forest structure would be more reasonable, and the proportion of coniferous, broadleaf forest, mixed forest and shrub changed from 64.77%、19.84%、8.36%、7.03%to 40.30%、37.34%、18.06%、4.30%, which solve the problem of large-proportion coniferous forest effectively; ③ The whole index of land-use service values increased substantially, the ecological, social and economic benefits increased by3.7%, 2.4% and 5.5%, respectively; ④ Optimization was realized according to different Risk area, different grade and different objective. For tropical cyclone risk, economic benefit is positive related apparently, social and economic benefits are just the opposite.
Land use is one of the most important factors to regional ecosystem function. The study was carried out at Honghu County, Hubei Province, P. R. China. Based on the TM images and visual interactive interpretation, land use status of Honghu County(1989-2010) were acquired for quantitatively analyzing the responses of the ecosystem service values to land use change with the association of land use structure and urbanization indices. The results showed that ecosystem service values of Honghu County(1989-2010) were mainly supported by wetlands, waters and farmlands, which increased from 3.677 billion Yuan in 1989 to 3.697 billion Yuan in 2010. The dominant ecosystem service functions of Honghu county were hydrological regulation, waste management, climate regulation and biodiversity maintenance with a contribution rate from 73.78% to 74.30%. Land use structure indices of Honghu County were all linearly associated with ecosystem service values, whose diversity, evenness and strength increase while decline in dominance. Urbanization has a positive effect on ecosystem service values, which shows the increase of ecosystem service values was related with urbanization. We could conclude that it is an effective way to maintain Honghu County ecosystem service functions by making rational ecological planning according to the status of ecosystem service functions.
In order to study the influence of hyperspectral image on the monitoring of water quality parameters,the author dealed with inversion research of water quality parameters in East Dongting Lake,based on Hyperion image.Through atmosphere correction and spectral feature analysis,then estimation model for chlorophyll a concentration and suspended solids were built respectively.Spatial distribution of target water quality parameters were acquired by software ENVI4.7 and ArcGIS.Results showed that the effect of Hyperion atmosphere correction was ideal,which was suitable for the inversion of chlorophyll a concentration and suspended solids.The spatial variation of chlorophyll a in the study area was not obvious,which tended to be an upward trend with the distance increase from lakeshore.While the spatial differentiation of suspended solids concentration was obvious,the overall presentation tended to be a gradual increase then a slow decline with the distance increase from lakeshore.The suspended solids content in the mouth and center of East Dongting Lake was higher than other places,and in total the south was higher than the north.The research revealed the potential of Hyperion image on the inland water monitoring,which contributed to the accurate estimation of water parameter monitoring.
