Biomass Estimation Mapping
Definition
Biomass Estimation Mapping involves using spatial data to estimate the amount of organic material (biomass) in forests, grasslands, and agricultural areas. It helps in understanding carbon stocks and monitoring land productivity.
Application
Essential for climate change studies, carbon trading, forest management, and agricultural yield assessments using remote sensing indices like NDVI or LiDAR data.
FAQ
What is biomass estimation in GIS?
It is the process of calculating the spatial distribution of vegetation biomass using satellite or drone-derived data.
Why is biomass estimation mapping important?
It supports carbon accounting, ecological monitoring, and sustainable resource management.
What tools are used for biomass estimation?
Remote sensing software, LiDAR, radar, and vegetation indices like NDVI and EVI are commonly used.
How accurate is GIS-based biomass mapping?
Accuracy depends on sensor resolution, ground truth data, and the modeling method used.
