The possibility of stabilisation of the average value of above-ground biomass by vegetation index at some tree height

https://doi.org/10.53374/1993-0135-2024-1-13-16

Abstract

The article is devoted to the model analysis of changes in the above-ground mass of trees in the forest per one tree under changes in tree height and normalised difference vegetation index. It is shown that the above-ground mass of trees on average rises with increasing NDVI index value. However, there is a certain height of trees at which the aboveground mass of trees does not change according to NDVI. A model explanation of this phenomenon, called the effect of “stabilisation of tree mass of a certain height with increasing vegetation index”, is given.
