Harnessing data assimilation and spatial autocorrelation for forest inventory

Qing Xu et al.

Summary: Spatially explicit uncertainties in forest above-ground biomass predictions can be reduced by considering the spatial structure of biomass model residuals. A spatial data assimilation procedure using LiDAR and the best linear unbiased predictor (BLUP) was demonstrated to decrease prediction variances of individual tree biomass and plot-level biomass density. The procedure showed great potential for reducing the uncertainty in forest biomass predictions and improving biomass inventories.

Potential of Bayesian formalism for the fusion and assimilation of sequential forestry data in time and space

Cheikh Mohamedou et al.

Summary: Forest resource assessments based on multi-source and multi-temporal data have become more common, but the use of Bayesian methods in forestry applications is less frequent compared to other disciplines. Despite the potential of Bayesian frameworks in efficiently combining and updating predictive distributions, they seem under-utilized in forestry, particularly in time-series analysis.

Estimation and calibration of stem diameter distribution using UAV laser scanning data: A case study for larch (Larix olgensis) forests in Northeast China

Yuanshuo Hao et al.

Summary: This study utilized unmanned aerial vehicle laser scanning data and three Weibull distribution modeling methods to estimate diameter distribution, considering spatial and cross-model correlations to improve accuracy. Through leave-one-out cross-validation, it was found that PRMM method with six calibrated plots yielded optimal results, with an average Reynolds error index of 45.30.

On the model-assisted regression estimators using remotely sensed auxiliary data

Ronald E. McRoberts et al.

Summary: The model-assisted difference and regression estimators are widely used in forest inventory and remotely sensed data to improve the accuracy of inventory parameter estimates. However, there is inconsistency in the definition of associated terminology and the use of notation. This study aims to establish consistent and operationally useful definitions, bridge the notation gap, and evaluate the impact of sample size, model form, and g-weights on the unbiasedness of regression estimators.

Cross-classes domain inference with network sampling for natural resource inventory

Zhengyang Hou et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a design-based generalized systematic adaptive cluster sampling (GSACS) method for inventorying cross-classes domains and derives estimators. Through Monte Carlo simulations, it is found that the estimators of the GSACS method are unbiased and efficient, and also improve the precision of the inventory.

Updating annual state- and county-level forest inventory estimates with data assimilation and FIA data

Zhengyang Hou et al.

Summary: This study proposes and demonstrates an updating procedure using data assimilation that integrates design-based and model-based estimators to update annual estimates at state and county levels. The method achieves unbiasedness, efficiency, smooth trend lines, and flexibility in spatial scales, and is compatible with the readily available FIA database for official reporting.

Generalizing systematic adaptive cluster sampling for forest ecosystem inventory

Qing Xu et al.

Summary: Reliable statistical inference is crucial for forest ecology and management, with systematic adaptive cluster sampling (SACS) being an unbiased and efficient method for inventorying spatially clustered populations. However, challenges such as oversampling and uncertainty in sample formation still exist, leading to the development of a generalized SACS (GSACS) which outperforms systematic sampling (SS) in inventorying clustered populations and making domain-specific estimates.
