Hainan Province 2023 Rubber Forest Sample Plot Survey Data

Rubber trees are the primary source of natural rubber and are extensively planted in tropical regions. Hainan Province is one of China's main rubber-planting areas. The rubber planting industry is multifunctional and multi-beneficial. It is not only a pillar of Hainan's agriculture but also a significant source of income for farmers. The benefits and impacts of its ecosystem services are substantial. In September 2023, we conducted a survey of 102 rubber forest plots in Hainan Province. We recorded the coordinates of each plot and performed three-dimensional LiDAR scanning and biomass sampling, obtaining three-dimensional point cloud information and biomass data for each plot. After collecting the plot survey data, we used high-resolution Google satellite imagery with a resolution of 0.59m, combined with the Res-Unet deep learning algorithm, to develop a rubber forest recognition model and obtained the distribution of rubber forests in Hainan Province for 2023. Additionally, here is the description of our data folder files:1.The folders 'Classification of Rubber Forest' and 'Figures' contain the results of our identified rubber forest distribution in Hainan Province for 2023 and the distribution of sampling points from the plot survey.2. The folder 'Rubber Forest Sample Plot Survey Data' contains our three-dimensional LiDAR scanning measurements and biomass data of the rubber forest plots.
