Introduction:

When it comes to accurately assessing the mass or timber volume of trees within a sample plot, LiDAR360's Biomass feature is the ultimate solution. In this case study, we explore its application in Berkeley, where we meticulously analyzed a 3.56-acre area flourishing with majestic ponderosa pines.

Collecting Data:

To begin, we employed a backpack LiDAR device to gather point cloud data from the designated plot. Subsequently, this data was processed using LiDAR360, which seamlessly executed crucial functions such as classification, individual tree segmentation, and biomass calculation. The automated nature of these processes streamlined the analysis and saved valuable time and effort.

Results:

The comprehensive analysis using LiDAR360 revealed intriguing findings. Within the sample plot, we discovered an astonishing total of 427 trees. These trees collectively boasted an impressive mass of approximately 383,397 kg. The accuracy and efficiency provided by LiDAR360's Biomass feature played a vital role in these calculations.

Customization and Integration:

At LiDAR360, we pride ourselves on continuously advancing our technology and providing users with the most valuable tools. To further enhance the accuracy of biomass calculations, we have integrated over 7000 Biomass models. These models cater to various regions and tree species. Additionally, we extend our assistance by welcoming suggestions for integrating biomass model libraries specific to your region into LiDAR360. The goal is to ensure our software remains optimized for your unique requirements.

Conclusion:

LiDAR360's Biomass feature proves to be an invaluable asset in accurately measuring the mass or timber volume of trees within any sample plot. The successful case study in Berkeley demonstrates the precision and efficiency provided by this feature. By leveraging the advanced technology of LiDAR360 and our vast collection of Biomass models, professionals like yourself can effortlessly calculate biomass and elevate their research or forestry management endeavors to new heights.
