Abstract:

Object: This study was implemented to develop the stand aboveground biomass model with stable structure based on light detection and ranging(LiDAR) data, considering the ordinary least squares, mixed effects and Bayesian parameter estimation method, and then discussed the selection of the optimal biomass prediction model with the aims to provide a scientific basis for biomass modeling method and biomass estimation and to provide a technical support for achieving the "double carbon" target and biomass model calculation in the core area of the Winter Olympics. Method: Based on the LiDAR data and field measurement of 62 sample plots distributed across the Larix principis-rupprechtii and Betula platyphylla forest stands in the core areas of the Winter Olympics, ordinary least squares (OLS), mixed effects and Bayesian biomass models were established by variable screening.Determination coefficient (R2), root mean square error(RMSE), residual error and total relative error(TRE) were used to evaluate the model, and reserve-one crossover method was used to verify the accuracies of the models. Result: A total of 20 LiDAR variables with high correlations were filtered out, and 3 independent variables were finally entered into the models. The best fitting was the Logistic mixed effect model(RMSE = 22.99 t·hm-2, R2 = 0.768, TRE = 6.08%). After establishing the model by tree species, the accuracy of larch model was improved(RMSE = 22.92 t·hm-2, R2 = 0.795, TRE = 7.45%), and the accuracy of birch model decreased(RMSE = 23.34 t·hm-2, R2 = 0.440, TRE = 4.35%). Using the trained model, the biomass of Chongli Winter Olympic core area was predicted and mapped. Conclusion: As for the estimation of the stand aboveground biomass based on the LiDAR and field measurement data, the nonlinear model was superior to the linear model. The nonlinear mixed effect model with age group as random effects might have the highest prediction accuracy of biomass. Bayesian estimation may be greatly affected by prior conditions and might have further discussion values although with a small sample size in this study.
