AI Technical Summary
Existing natural forest ecological restoration assessment methods cannot accurately identify understory structure information, and the assessment results are out of touch with the ecological reality, making it difficult to quantify the degree of niche filling.
The spatial overlay analysis method was used to divide forest ecological monitoring units. Three-dimensional ecological indicators were obtained by combining airborne lidar and ground-based lidar data. The weights of the indicators were calculated by a subjective and objective weighting method, and the succession constraint factor adjustment coefficient was introduced to construct a niche filling degree evaluation model based on the Laplace membership function.
It enables precise quantification of the ecological restoration effect of natural forests, identifies understory vegetation and vertical structure, improves the sensitivity and accuracy of evaluation, and provides a scientific basis for management.
