Modeling pine forest growing stock volume in subtropical regions of China using airborne Lidar data by Zige Lan, Xiandie Jiang, Guiying Li, Yagang Lu, Hongwen Yao, Dengsheng Lu

“…This modeling approach effectively alleviated the overfitting problem caused by relatively small sample sizes. (2) Compared to OLR which only used global variables, both GWR which incorporated spatial information and HBA which utilized stratification significantly improved modeling performance. (3) The accuracy of OLR and GWR models remained relatively stable with various sample sizes, indicating their low sensitivity to sample sizes, whereas HBA exhibited high sensitivity due to the influence of stratification factors. (4) For a single tree species, a stratification-based modeling method was valuable for GSV estimation. …”
