Biomass Assessment and Carbon Sequestration Using Drone Technology

Advanced drones equipped with LiDAR and multispectral sensors enable accurate estimation of above-ground biomass by capturing 3D structural data and spectral signatures of vegetation. LiDAR sensors generate high-resolution point clouds that measure tree height, canopy volume, and density, which are key parameters for biomass modeling.

Combined with multispectral data, these measurements improve biomass estimations by accounting for species-specific reflectance and vegetation health. This data feeds into allometric equations to calculate carbon stocks and sequestration rates in restored quarry ecosystems.

Drone-based biomass assessment offers a rapid, non-destructive, and cost-effective alternative to traditional ground surveys. It enhances monitoring precision and provides spatially explicit carbon accounting, crucial for validating carbon credits and supporting climate change mitigation strategies.
