[0047] (3) LiDAR data: Airborne LiDAR point cloud data of the study area were obtained, with a point cloud density of ≥4 points / m², provided by the provincial surveying and mapping department (acquisition time: autumn 2022).

[0048] (4) UAV multispectral data: Fifteen typical sample areas (1km×1km each) were set up in the study area. Aerial photography was carried out using a DJI Matrice 300 RTK UAV equipped with a MicaSense RedEdge-MX multispectral camera. The flight altitude was 120 meters, and multispectral images of five bands, namely blue (475nm), green (560nm), red (668nm), red edge (717nm), and near-infrared (842nm), were acquired with a spatial resolution of about 0.05 meters.

[0049] (5) Ground measurement data: 120 fixed plots (40m×40m) were set up using a stratified random sampling method. Considering factors such as vegetation type (coniferous forest, broad-leaved forest, mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest), altitude (<500m, 500~1000m, >1000m), slope (<15°, 15°~30°, >30°), tree species, diameter at breast height (DBH≥5cm), tree height, crown width and other parameters were recorded in each plot. The biomass of individual trees was calculated using the allometric growth equation (referring to the industry standard "Standing Tree Biomass Model and Carbon Measurement Parameters"). The vegetation carbon storage at the plot scale was obtained by summing the data. At the same time, 0~30cm topsoil samples (mixed samples) were collected at the center and four corners of each plot.

Topographic correction (C model) was performed using a 30-meter resolution DEM of the study area. Geometric fine correction was performed based on a 1:100,000 scale topographic map, with the correction error controlled within 0.5 pixels. Cloud and snow cover pixels were removed using a QA60 band mask.

[0053] Radar data: speckle noise filtering was performed using the Refined Lee filtering algorithm (7×7 pixels window size), terrain correction was performed using SRTM DEM (Gamma-MAP algorithm) to eliminate radiation distortion caused by terrain, and the backscattering coefficient was converted to decibels (dB).

[0056] UAV data registration: A 3D point cloud was generated using the Structure for Motion Restoration (SfM) algorithm. Thirty ground control points (GPS measured coordinates, accuracy 0.1 meters) were selected evenly distributed within the study area. The UAV point cloud coordinates were transformed to the WGS-84 / UTM projection coordinate system using the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm. The registration error was controlled within 0.1 meters.

[0057] Ground data validation: Using measured carbon storage data from 120 sample plots, the residuals between the preliminary remote sensing inversion values ​​(estimated using only optical data) and the measured values ​​at each pixel location were calculated. Outlier samples with residual absolute values ​​exceeding twice the standard deviation were removed (a total of 5 outlier sample plots were removed), and 115 valid sample plots were retained, of which 80 were used for model training and 35 were used for independent validation.

Each network contained 4 convolutional blocks, and each convolutional block contained two 3×3 convolutional layers (stride 1, padding 1). Each convolutional layer was followed by a batch normalization layer and a ReLU activation function, outputting a 64-dimensional depth feature map (spatial size is 1 / 4 of the original size, downsampled by convolution with a stride of 2).
