DOI: 10.1109/jstars.2020.2987951
Abstract: Global forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is very important in quantifying carbon stock, and, therefore, it is necessary to estimate forest AGB accurately. Many studies have obtained reliable AGB estimates by using light detection and ranging… read more here.
