description In order to reduce the impact of global warming, forestry carbon sink trading is an effective approach to achieving carbon neutrality, while carbon storage estimation plays an important role as the basis of the whole carbon sink trading. Therefore, an accurate estimation of carbon storage is conducive to the sustainable development of carbon sink trading. In this paper, we use laser SLAM technology to model an artificial forest in three dimensions, extract the tree parameters by the point cloud processing software, and calculate the carbon storage according to the allometric growth equation of the tree species. The experimental results show that the loop path is the best among the three-path planning of ZEB-HORIZON scanner data acquisition. For large-scale plantations, the fusion data acquisition of linear and loop paths by Livox Mid-40 and ZEB-HORIZON LIDAR can be adopted with a highly precise and a complete 3D point cloud obtained. The Lidar360 software is used for single wood segmentation and parameter extraction, and the manual measurement is taken as the quasi-true value. After the measurement accuracy analysis, the carbon storage estimation is met. Using the volume source biomass method in the sample plot inventory method, the carbon storages of camphor and cypress in the experimental area were estimated through the allometric growth equation of camphor and cypress and the international conversion rate.
