Aboveground Biomass Estimation from Satellite Imagery

In the field of studying carbon release and sequestration by forests, Aboveground Biomass (AGBM) is a popular measure for estimating how much carbon dioxide forests are absorbing and releasing into the atmosphere. Remote sensing methods provide a faster and less destructive approach for biomass estimation compared to the more invasive technique called destructive sampling, specifically the permanent removal of material from a specimen for analyses. Additionally, this information enables landowners and policymakers to make more informed decisions for forest conservation. In this context, LiDAR is a remote sensing technique that o
