Optimal management of these coppices requires accurate assessment of the total standing biomass. However, traditional field inventory is a challenging task, given the existence of multiple shoots, the difficulty of identifying terminal shoots, and the extreme high density. As an alternative, in this work, we propose to develop individual stool and plot biomass models using metrics derived from terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) as predictors. To this aim, we used data from a SRC poplar plantation, including nine plots and 154 individual stools. Every plot was scanned from different positions, and individual stools were felled, weighed, and dried to compute aboveground biomass (AGB). Individual stools were segmented from the cloud point, and different TLS metrics at stool and plot level were derived following processes of bounding box, slicing, and voxelization. These metrics were then used, either alone or combined with field-measured metrics, to fit biomass models. Our results indicate that at individual-stool level, the biomass models combining TLS metrics and easy to measure in field metrics (stool diameter) perform similarly to the traditional allometric models based on field inventories, while at plot scales, TLS-derived models show superiority over traditional models. Our proposed methodology permits accurate and non-destructive estimates of the biomass fixed in SRC plantations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15071942","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,6]],"date-time":"2023-04-06T01:10:27Z","timestamp":1680743427000},"page":"1942","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Terrestrial Laser Scanning for Non-Destructive Estimation of Aboveground Biomass in Short-Rotation Poplar Coppices"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5119-4672","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda","family":"Men\u00e9ndez-Migu\u00e9lez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ciencias Forestales (ICIFOR-INIA), CSIC.
