Improving Aboveground Biomass Estimation of <i>Pinus densata</i> Forests in Yunnan Using Landsat 8 Imagery by Incorporating Age Dummy Variable and Method Comparison

Optical remote sensing data have been widely used for estimating forest aboveground biomass (AGB). However, the use of optical images is often restricted by the saturation of spectral reflectance for forests that have multilayered and complex canopy structures and high AGB values and by the effect o...
