Forest carbon studies play a vital role in understanding how forests store and absorb carbon, which is critical in the fight against climate change. By quantifying carbon stocks and analysing forest ecosystems, these studies support better decision-making for sustainable forest management and environmental protection.
Drone LiDAR technology is playing a key role and transforming how data is collected in dense forest environments. Its ability to penetrate forest canopies and generate highly detailed 3D point clouds allows for accurate analysis of forest structure and biomass.
Using calibrated algorithms, LiDAR data can be correlated with field measurements to develop reliable biomass estimation models. Even before modelling, advanced techniques like Individual Tree Segmentation (ITS) enable visualization of each tree, providing valuable data at a granular level.
Once validated, these models can be scaled across the entire survey area to generate biomass distribution maps, ultimately supporting accurate carbon stock estimation.
Weโre grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this meaningful project and to support the advancement of smart, data-driven forestry solutions
