| description | Identifying the key climate variables affecting optical saturation values (OSVs) in forest aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation using optical remote sensing is crucial for analyzing OSV changes. This can improve AGB estimation accuracy by addressing the uncertainties associated with optical saturation. In this study, <i>Pinus yunnanensis</i> forests and Landsat 8 OLI imagery from Yunnan were used as case studies to explain this issue. The spherical model was applied to determine the OSVs using specific spectral bands (Blue, Green, Red, Near-Infrared (NIR), and Short-Wave Infrared Band 2 (SWIR2)) derived from Landsat 8 OLI imagery. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) uncovered the intricate relationships between climatic variables and OSV variations. The results reveal the following: (1) All Landsat 8 OLI spectral bands showed a negative correlation with the <i>Pinus yunnanensis</i> forest AGB, with OSVs ranging from 104.42 t/ha to 209.11 t/ha, peaking in the southwestern region and declining to the lowest levels in the southeastern region. (2) CCA effectively explained 93.2% of the OSV variations, identifying annual mean temperature (AMT) as the most influential climatic factor. Additionally, the mean temperature of the wettest quarter (MTQ) and annual precipitation (ANP) were significant secondary determinants, with higher OSV values observed in warmer, more humid areas. These findings offer important insights into climate-driven OSV variations, reducing uncertainty in forest AGB estimation and enhancing the precision of AGB estimations in future research. |
