摘要： Forest aboveground biomass (AGB) plays a key role in assessing forest productivity. In this study, we extracted individual tree structural parameters using backpack LiDAR, assessed their accuracy using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data and field measurements as reference values, and reconstructed 3D models of trees based on parameter-optimized quantitative structural models (AdQSM). The individual tree AGB was estimated based on individual tree volumes obtained from the tree model reconstruction, combined with the basic wood density values of specific tree species. In addition, the AGB calculated using the allometric biomass models was validated to explore the feasibility of nondestructive estimation of individual tree AGB by backpack LiDAR. We found that (1) the backpack LiDAR point cloud extracted individual tree diameter at breast height (DBH) with high accuracy. In contrast, the accuracy of the tree height extraction was low; (2) the optimal parameter values of the AdQSM reconstruction models for Larix gmelinii and Betula platyphylla were HS = 0.4 m and HS = 0.6 m, respectively; (3) the individual tree AGB estimated based on the backpack LiDAR and AdQSM fit well with the reference values. Our study confirms that backpack LiDAR can nondestructively estimate individual tree AGB, which can provide a reliable basis for further forest resource management and carbon stock estimation.
