The invention relates to an aboveground vegetation ecological water estimation method based on airborne LiDAR and Sentinel-2A data, solves the hydrological effect problem of vegetation from a macroscopic level, undoubtedly is beneficial exploration and attempt, and comprises the following steps: step S10, selecting a research area, and collecting field sample plot survey data; s20, 18 characteristic indexes are extracted from Sentinel-2A remote sensing data, and a vegetation canopy ecological water model is constructed; s30, according to the field survey data, a nonlinear model is adopted to construct a coniferous tree and broad-leaved tree breast height-tree height conversion model; step S40, acquiring single-tree vertical structure information through airborne LiDAR data; s50, constructing an airborne LiDAR vegetation stem and branch ecological water inversion model; and step S60, combining the Sentinel-2A vegetation canopy ecological water with airborne LiDAR vegetation stem and branch ecological water to obtain an above-ground vegetation ecological water reserve result. Compared with a single passive remote sensing source, the above-ground vegetation ecological water reserve result has the advantage that the accuracy of the above-ground vegetation canopy, stem and branch ecological water estimation technology is greatly improved.
