ABSTRACT

Quantifying the vegetation aboveground biomass (AGB) is crucial for evaluating environment quality and estimating blue carbon in coastal wetlands. In this study, a UAV-LiDAR was first employed to quantify the canopy height model (CHM) of coastal Phragmites australis (common reed). Statistical correlations were explored between two multispectral remote sensing data (Sentinel-2 and JL-1) and reed biophysical parameters (CHM, density, and AGB) estimated from UAV-LiDAR data. Consequently, the reed AGB was separately estimated and mapped with UAV-LiDAR, Sentinel-2, and JL-1 data through the allometric equations (AEs). Results show that UAV-LiDAR-derived CHM at pixel size of 4 m agrees well with the observed stem height (R2 = 0.69). Reed height positively correlates with the basal diameter and negatively correlates with plant density. The optimal AGB inversion model was derived from Sentinel-2 data and JL-1 data with R2 = 0.58, RMSE = 216.86 g/m2 and R2 = 0.50, RMSE = 244.96 g/m2, respectively. This study illustrated that the synergy of UAV-LiDAR data and multispectral remote sensing images has great potential in coastal reed monitoring.
