Abstract
= 0.89), and a small mean absolute percentage error (MAPE = 0.03). This study demonstrates the potential of combining 3D RTM with LiDAR data to quantify fine-scale APAR in plantations, providing insights for optimizing forest structure, enhancing forest quality, and implementing precise forest management practices, such as selective breeding for superior tree species.
