Aboveground biomass density models for NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar mission

Laura Duncanson et al.

Summary: This paper presents the development of models used by NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) to estimate forest aboveground biomass density (AGBD). The models were developed using globally distributed field and airborne lidar data, with simulated relative height metrics as predictor variables. The study found that stratification by geographic domain and the use of square root transformation improved model performance.

Factors affecting relative height and ground elevation estimations of GEDI among forest types across the conterminous USA

Cangjiao Wang et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the performance of NASA's GEDI spaceborne LiDAR system in different forest types and identified factors influencing its performance. The results showed that GEDI achieved accurate measurements of ground elevation and forest height, with variations observed among different forest profiles. Land surface attributes, observing sensor system characteristics, and collection time differences were found to be important factors affecting GEDI performance, with geolocation error being particularly influential for canopy height estimation.

Fusing simulated GEDI, ICESat-2 and NISAR data for regional aboveground biomass mapping

Carlos Alberto Silva et al.

Summary: This study presents a multi-sensor data fusion approach for accurate mapping of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) using data from GEDI, ICESat-2, and NISAR missions. Testing in Sonoma County, USA, demonstrates that the fusion framework provides more accurate AGB estimates compared to individual mission data, highlighting opportunities for improved AGB mapping through data fusion.

Assessing the Accuracy of GEDI Data for Canopy Height and Aboveground Biomass Estimates in Mediterranean Forests

Ivan Dorado-Roda et al.

Summary: The study evaluates the effect of combining ALS-based aboveground biomass estimates with GEDI-derived models in different forest ecosystems, finding that GEDI data shows higher uncertainty in highly multilayered forests. The proposed models could be used to monitor biomass stocks at large scale in Mediterranean areas, especially in remote and hard-to-reach areas for forest inventory. The findings provide an initial evaluation of GEDI data for estimating AGB in Mediterranean forests.

The impact of geolocation uncertainty on GEDI tropical forest canopy height estimation and change monitoring

David P. Roy et al.

Summary: The study investigates the impact of geolocation uncertainty on forest canopy height estimation using GEDI LiDAR data, and finds that this uncertainty can affect the reliability of canopy height retrieval, especially in cases of spatially heterogeneous canopies. The research highlights the need to consider GEDI geolocation uncertainty in forest change monitoring, particularly over fragmented or structurally diverse canopies.

Airborne and Spaceborne Lidar Reveal Trends and Patterns of Functional Diversity in a Semi-Arid Ecosystem

Nayani Ilangakoon et al.

Summary: Assessing functional diversity and its abiotic controls at continuous spatial scales are crucial to understanding changes in ecosystem processes and services. The study found that functional diversity in semi-arid ecosystems is mainly governed by elevation, soil, and water availability, with a trend of functional recovery in burned areas observed over time. Results showed a moderate correlation between GEDI and ALS predicted traits, demonstrating GEDI's potential to capture functional diversity in similar semi-arid ecosystems.

GEDI Elevation Accuracy Assessment: A Case Study of Southwest Spain

Elia Quiros et al.

Summary: Information on forest structures is increasingly important for global carbon cycling, forest habitats, and biodiversity. The study compared GEDI data with other digital elevation models for Southwest Spain, finding that in some areas, the errors were less than 1 meter. The results indicate a clear relationship between coverage and slope, especially the latter.
