Deep learning model improves tree biomass estimation with continuous data mapping

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method for estimating tree biomass distribution using deep learning, shifting from discrete plot-level data to continuous Horizontal Biomass Distribution (HBD) mapping derived from Quantitative Structure Models (QSMs). This approach addresses limitations of traditional methods that suffer from boundary effects, particularly in smaller field plots. The study demonstrated that QSM-based models consistently outperformed traditional forest inventory (FI) approaches at smaller plot sizes, with the HBD reference significantly reducing error and increasing R-squared values.
