Forest biomass estimation got improved using ALS after stratification by species information from hyperspectral data.

The result of this study is encouraging that optical data can estimate forest aboveground biomass with big reference data at regional scale.

Regional forest biomass was estimated by combining field measurements, airborne LiDAR, spaceborne remote sensing data.
