Estimating Regional Forest Carbon Density Using Remote Sensing and Geographically Weighted Random Forest Models: A Case Study of Mid- to High-Latitude Forests in China
FORESTS（2025）
Abstract
In the realm of global climate change and environmental protection, the precise estimation of forest ecosystem carbon density is essential for devising effective carbon management and emission reduction strategies. This study employed forest inventory, soil carbon, and remote sensing data combined with three models—Random Forest (RF), Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), and the innovative Geographically Weighted Random Forest (GWRF) model—integrated with remote sensing technology to develop a framework for assessing the regional spatial distribution of the forest vegetation carbon density (FVC) and forest soil carbon density (FSC). The findings revealed that the GWRF model outperformed the other models in estimating both the FVC and FSC. The data indicated that the FVC in Heilongjiang Province ranged from 4.91 t/ha to 72.39 t/ha, with an average of 40.88 t/ha. In contrast, the average FSC was 182.29 t/ha, with a range of 96.01 t/ha to 255.09 t/ha. Additionally, the forest ecosystem carbon density (FEC) varied from 124.36 t/ha to 302.18 t/ha, averaging 223.17 t/ha. Spatially, the FVC, FSC, and FEC exhibited a consistent growth trend from north to south. The results of this study demonstrate that machine learning models that consider spatial relationships can improve predictive accuracy, providing valuable insights for the future spatial modeling of forest carbon storage.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
