Abstract Forest biomass is a significant indicator for substance accumulation and forest succession, and can
provide valuable information for forest management and scientific planning. Accurate estimations of
forest biomass at a fine resolution are important for a better understanding of the forest productivity
and carbon cycling dynamics. In this study, considering the low efficiency and accuracy of the existing
biomass estimation models for remote sensing data, Landsat 8 OLI imagery and field data cooperated
with the radial basis function artificial neural network (RBF ANN) approach is used to estimate the
forest Above Ground Biomass (AGB) in More >
