Abstract:Investigating the impact of field plot size on the performance of estimation models for forest inventory attributes could help optimize the technical schemes for an operational airborne LiDAR-assisted forest resource inventory. However, few studies on the topic have focused on subtropical forests. In this study, 104 rectangular plots of 900 m2 (subdivided into nine quadrats with an area of 10 × 10 m) in subtropical planted forests (Chinese fir, pine, eucalyptus, and broad-leaved forest, 2–56 years old) were us… Show more
