Accurate estimation of aboveground biomass in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forests under Pantana phyllostachysae Chao stress using UAV multispectral remote sensing and self‐establish allometric equations

Incorporating pest factors into AGB estimation models significantly enhances model accuracy and captures the nuanced effects of pest stress on biomass accumulation. This integration improves model generalizability and ecological relevance, offering valuable insights for sustainable forest management and carbon accounting. The findings highlight the importance of explicitly considering pest dynamics in biomass modeling and carbon management strategies, laying a robust foundation for future research on pest-biomass interactions in forest ecosystems. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
