Abstract:

Objective: This paper aims to determinate the light saturation point of biomass estimation using remote sensing data of Simao pine(Pinus kesiya var. langbianensis)forest, and construct the spatial global model and the local remote sensing information model, then inverse the biomass of Simao pine forest. The results will provide a reference for estimating biomass of Simao pine using remote sensing data. Method: This study calculated the light saturation point of Simao pine forest biomass using the quadratic term function and power function model based on Landsat8 OLI images, and the forest resource inventory data in 2016 of Pu'er city, Yunnan Province, were used to construct the remote sensing information model with the ordinary least square(OLS), spatial lag model(SLM), spatial error model(SEM)and geographically weighed regression(GWR), and then the aboveground biomass of Simao pine forest was estimated. Result: 1) The light saturation point of aboveground biomass estimated by Landsat 8 OLI remote sensing in Simao pine forest of Pu'er city was 106.3 t·hm-2. 2) The highest coefficient of determination(R2=0.373)and the lowest Akaike information index(AIC=4 577.8)of GWR model indicated that it has the better fitting performance than OLS, SLM and SEM model. 3) The results of the independent sample test showed that the estimation accuracy of GWR model was higher than those of OLS, SLM and SEM model, especially at the high value stage (above 100 t·hm-2) and the low value stage (below 50 t·hm-2) based on the Jackknife method test. 4) The aboveground biomass by inversion using GWR model was 66.496 t·hm-2, and its estimation error with the measured data was 23.511%, which was less than the estimation values of OLS, SLM and SEM model. Conclusion: GWR model is superior to OLS model and other spatial global regression models in estimating biomass of Simao pine forest in Pu'er city by remote sensing. Moreover, GWR model can solve the problems of high-value under estimation and low-value over estimation to a certain extent, and reduce the influences of the light saturation point on the accuracy of remote sensing estimation.
