The uncertainty from the under-estimation and over-estimation of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is an urgent problem in optical remote sensing estimation. In order to more accurately estimate the AGB of Pinus densata forests in Shangri-La City, we mainly discuss three non-parametric models—the artificial neural network (ANN), random forests (RFs), and the quantile regression neural network (QRNN) based on 146 sample plots and Sentinel-2 images in Shangri-La City, China. Moreover, we selected the corresponding optical quartile models with the lowest mean error at each AGB segment to combine as the best QRNN (QRNNb). The results showed that: (1) for the whole biomass segment, the QRNNb has the best fitting performance compared with the ANN and RFs, the ANN has the lowest R2 (0.602) and the highest RMSE (48.180 Mg/ha), and the difference between the QRNNb and RFs is not apparent. (2) For the different biomass segments, the QRNNb has a better performance. Especially when AGB is lower than 40 Mg/ha, the QRNNb has the highest R2 of 0.961 and the lowest RMSE of 1.733 (Mg/ha). Meanwhile, when AGB is larger than 160 Mg/ha, the QRNNb has the highest R2 of 0.867 and the lowest RMSE of 18.203 Mg/ha. This indicates that the QRNNb is more robust and can improve the over-estimation and under-estimation in AGB estimation. This means that the QRNNb combined with the optimal quantile model of each biomass segment provides a method with more potential for reducing the uncertainties in AGB estimation using optical remote sensing images. |
