Abstract
The purpose of this study is to integrate remote sensing of three-dimensional forest structure with a process-based ecosystem model for calculating how much carbon dioxide forests can absorb. Three-dimensional forest structures, such as stem biomass, tree height and tree number, are extracted by Air-borne LiDAR point clouds, ALOS/PRISM (Daichi) and time-series aerial photographs. The forest growth model “3-PG” which is on of the process-based ecosystem model is used. Each forest stand is replicated the extracted three-dimensional forest structure by tuning forest stand parameters. After tuning, the model estimate future three-dimensional forest structure.
