UAV-Based LiDAR Sensing for 3D Reconstruction of Mangrove Canopies and Carbon Stock Estimation

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology offers a powerful tool for the detailed mapping and monitoring of mangrove ecosystems. Mangroves are critical to coastal protection, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration, but their structure and carbon storage capabilities are often difficult to assess using traditional methods. UAV-based LiDAR allows for high-resolution 3D reconstruction of mangrove canopies, capturing detailed information on canopy height, density, and complexity. This data enables accurate carbon stock estimation by providing precise measurements of above-ground biomass, which is essential for understanding the role of mangroves in carbon sequestration. The ability to perform non-invasive, high-precision surveys over large and remote areas makes UAV-based LiDAR particularly suited for monitoring mangrove forests, especially in regions that are difficult to access.
