Estimating the Aboveground Carbon Density of Coniferous Forests by Combining Airborne LiDAR and Allometry Models at Plot Level

Forest carbon density is an important indicator for evaluating forest carbon sink capacities. Accurate carbon density estimation is the basis for studying the response mechanisms of forest ecosystems to global climate change. Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology can acquire the ve...
