Modeling pine forest growing stock volume in subtropical regions of China using airborne Lidar data by Zige Lan, Xiandie Jiang, Guiying Li, Yagang Lu, Hongwen Yao, Dengsheng Lu

“…This study provided a quantitative analysis and accurate estimation of pine forest GSV over large areas with different environmental conditions and offered new insights for GSV estimation of other forest types. More research is needed to quantitatively examine different contribution of sample sizes, modeling algorithms, variables from different sources, and stratification factors on modeling results, so that we can design an optimal procedure for GSV modeling using airborne Lidar data.…”
