森林地上生物量(AGB)的空间连续量化是碳核算可信和减缓策略可操作的关键。虽然实地调查精度高但覆盖稀疏;而来自全球生态系统动态调查(GEDI)的星载激光雷达虽覆盖广,却存在空间不连续及对高生物量森林系统性低估的问题。本文提出一种基于单个全局训练卷积神经网络(CNN)的操作框架,通过轻量级经验实地校准流程无缝适配新区域。该模型融合光学(Sentinel-2)、C波段雷达(Sentinel-1)、L波段雷达(ALOS-2 PALSAR-2)与地形(DEM)数据,一次性在多区域、跨季节的GEDI Level-4A生物量参考数据上训练,以捕捉持久性木质结构特征而非单一时间影像外观。为避免逐区域重训,框架利用少量本地样地拟合尺度与偏移校正,使全局预测与实地真值对齐。数据预处理包括统一到10米网格、提取植被指数与极化比值、计算波段归一化统计量,并采用混合对数域SmoothL1与RMSE损失函数应对生物量分布偏斜。在独立验证集上,基于GEDI的全局模型达到R²约0.78,RMSE约22 Mg/ha;后续结合随机森林微调与10折交叉验证的实地校准,将局部验证性能提升至R²约0.82,RMSE降至约15 Mg/ha,优于未校准全局模型及ESA CCI生物量产品。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Spatially continuous quantification of forest above-ground biomass (AGB) is what makes carbon accounting credible and mitigation strategies actionable. While field inventories provide high localized accuracy, they are spatially sparse; conversely, spaceborne LiDAR from the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) offers broad biomass samples but lacks spatial continuity and systematic underestimation of high-biomass forests. This paper presents an operational framework centered on a single globally trained convolutional neural network (CNN) that is seamlessly adapted to each new landscape through a lightweight empirical field-calibration workflow. The global model combines optical (Sentinel-2), C-band SAR (Sentinel-1), L-band SAR (ALOS-2 PALSAR-2), and terrain (DEM) data. It is trained once against GEDI Level-4A biomass reference data spanning multiple regions and both wet and dry seasons so that it learns the persistent woody-structure rather than a single-date appearance. To avoid retraining for every landscape, the framework applies a small number of local field plots to fit a scale-and-bias correction that aligns the global prediction with ground truth in each region. The pipeline harmonizes sensor data onto a shared 10 m grid, derives vegetation indices and polarimetric ratios, computes per-band normalization stats, and trains the CNN with a hybrid log-domain SmoothL1 with RMSE loss for skewed biomass distribution. On held-out validation the global GEDI-based model achieved R^2 approximately 0.78 and RMSE approximately 22 Mg/ha. A subsequent field calibration combining Random Forest fine-tuning under a 10-fold cross-validation eliminates localized regional biases. This improves local validation performance to R^2 approximately 0.82 and reduces RMSE to approximately 15 Mg/ha, outperforming both the uncalibrated global model and the ESA CCI Biomass product against field plots.
