Forest Management for Climate Mitigation and Sustainability in China

We utilized close-range LiDAR data to gather continuous, large-scale forest stand height data, integrating multiple types of remote sensing data to produce the first high-resolution, wall-to-wall map of dominant tree height at a 30-meter resolution across China . By integrating this map with detailed tree species and stand age data from the National Forest Inventory (NFI), we developed SI estimation models for dominant tree species in 2020.
