This study estimated the carbon storage of Quercus aquifolioides in Shangri-La by integrating GEDI and Landsat 9 data and established a random forest model for evaluation. The results showed that the evaluation precision of the random forest model was superior to that of the support vector machine method and bagging regression. The carbon storage of Quercus aquifolioides was primarily in the range of 8.22 to 94.63 t/hm², with a mean value of 42.44 t/hm², and the total carbon storage was about 5,374,137.62 t. The findings illustrated the feasibility of obtaining carbon storage data on a county scale by combining GEDI LiDAR data with Landsat 9 optical data and suggested a new perspective for estimating other forest structure parameters.
The assessment of forest carbon storage plays a crucial role in forest management and ecosystem exploration, enabling the evaluation of forest quality, resources, carbon cycle and management. The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) satellite provides a means to accurately measure these various forest vertical structure parameters by penetrating the forest canopy. However, the distribution of the footprint along the orbit track is heterogeneous and discontinuous, preventing the acquisition of spatially distributed carbon storage formation at the county level. Consequently, this study integrated GEDI and Landsat 9 data to estimate Quercus aquifolioides carbon storage in Shangri-La. By applying the Kriging interpolation to previously pretreated footprints, surface information from the GEDI L2B footprints was obtained. At the same time, Landsat 9 vegetation indices and band reflectance were extracted to analyze the correlation with the carbon storage of Quercus aquifolioides samples. Then, three methods (support vector machine, bagging, and random forest) were used to create a carbon storage estimation model for Shangri-La. The research results showed that (1) among the models for the selection of GEDI footprint parameters based on semi-variance, the optimal model of the digital_elevation_model was the spherical model, while the best model of percentage tree cover from the MODIS data (modis_treecover) and the foliage height diversity index (fhd_normal) was the exponential model. (2) Analyzing the thirty-three extracted independent variable factors correlated with the carbon storage of Quercus aquifolioides showed that the top five variables with the highest correlation were digital_elevation_model, modis_treecover, fhd_normal, DEM, and band 1 (B1). (3) After variable selection, the R-2 = 0.82 and RMSE = 11.92 t/hm(2) values of the Quercus aquifolioides carbon storage estimation model established via random forest were obtained, and its evaluation precision was superior to that of the support vector machine method and bagging regression. The carbon storage of Quercus aquifolioides was primarily in the range of 8.22 similar to 94.63 t/hm(2), and the mean value was 42.44 t/hm(2), while the total carbon storage was about 5,374,137.62 t. The findings from this paper illustrated the feasibility of obtaining carbon storage data on a county scale by combining GEDI LiDAR data with Landsat 9 optical data. The results also suggested a new perspective for combining GEDI L2B data with other remote sensing images to estimate other forest structure parameters.
