“…The GEDI sensor is installed on the International Space Station and is equipped with a geodetic-class laser altimeter/waveform lidar composed of three lasers that produce eight transects of structural information, providing 25-m resolution measurements of forest height in temperate and tropical forests (between 51.6 • N and 51.6 • S latitude). GEDI data are released with different products corresponding to different preprocessing levels [36]. In this study, we used the highest level of GEDI products, Level 4A, which predicts-in tons per hectare (t ha −1 )-the aboveground biomass density (AGBD) for each sampled geolocated laser pulse [35].…”

“…With each footprint are associated a set of ancillary data such as uncertainty metrics, quality flags, and model inputs (land cover input data including PFTs and the world region identifiers). For details on the procedure used to generate Level 4A data, please refer to Duncanson et al [36]. The correlation between AGBD and CHM data was assessed using all GEDI pulses acquired in Italy over areas where ALS data were available, resulting in 3,107,244 pulses.…”

“…Unlike multispectral and hyperspectral, LiDAR sensors acquire three-dimensional point cloud information and vertical structure information of the forest by emitting highfrequency pulses from laser transmitters [13]. Researches on forestry applications of LiDAR data have focused on individual tree segmentation [14][15][16] and forest structure parameter extraction such as stand height, crown width, and biomass [17][18][19]. Some researchers have also used height as well as intensity information from LiDAR data for tree species classification [20,21].…”

“…The use of field measurements to estimate canopy height is not feasible at regional or global scales, as it is often too expensive and time-consuming. Active remote sensing methods such as Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) combined with optical remote sensing data [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] have shown their effectiveness in measuring vegetation height and estimating AGB at the regional scale. Airborne and terrestrial lidar are widely used as a reliable technique to accurately map canopy height over small-to-medium scales (10 s of km 2 ) [13][14][15].…”
