Removing the Scaling Error Caused by Allometric Modelling in Forest Biomass Estimation at Large Scales
To estimate the responses of forest ecosystems, most relationships in biological systems are described by allometric relationships, the parameters of which are determined based on field measurements. The use of existing observed data errors may occur during the scaling of fine-scale relationships to describe ecosystem properties at a larger ecosystem scale. Here, we analyzed the scaling error in the estimation of forest ecosystem biomass based on the measurement of plots (biomass or volume per hectare) using an improved allometric equation with a scaling error compensator. The efficiency of the compensator on reducing the scaling error was tested by simulating the forest stand populations using pseudo-observation. Our experiments indicate that, on average, approximately 94.8% of the scaling error can be reduced, and for a case study, an overestimation of 3.6% can be removed in practice from a large-scale estimation for the biomass of Pinus yunnanensis Franch.
