Allometric models establish mathematical relationships between easily measured tree attributes and biomass, facilitating non-destructive estimation of forest carbon stocks at scales from individual ...

Aboveground biomass (AGB) of rice, vital for carbon pool and yield estimation, is traditionally measured through labor-intensive manual sampling. Recent advancements employ remote sensing, ...

In a remarkable advancement for soil science, researchers from Japan have developed a novel method for estimating microbial biomass using water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) from air-dried soils.

Forest three-dimensional (3D) structure measurement is a key factor in achieving high-precision estimations of vegetation carbon storage. A stereoscopic point cloud is used for forest 3D structure ...

USDA Forest Service (FS) researchers are improving the use of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to study tree roots nondestructively. They are refining GPR's processing capabilities by comparing ...

UTokyo and Kubota develop a drone potato yield prediction method combining multispectral imagery, AI, and growth models.
