• Carbon Stocks in India's Tropical Dry Forests Using Remote Sensing & GIS: A Review (2026) · International Journal of Creative and Open Research in Engineering and Management · doi

  Further studies on below-ground and soil organic carbon in Central Indian dry deciduous forests are necessary. The integration of multiple data sources and validation methods is required for accurate carbon stock estimation. The development of new remote sensing technologies and algorithms can improve carbon stock estimation.

• Carbon Stocks in India's Tropical Dry Forests Using Remote Sensing & GIS: A Review (2026) · International Journal of Creative and Open Research in Engineering and Management · doi

  Below-ground and soil organic carbon remain under-sampled in Central Indian dry deciduous forests. Quantifying biomass-level changes associated with degradation requires higher-resolution or more frequent observations than current satellites provide. No single satellite sensor or field-based approach can deliver sub-fifteen-percent uncertainty in AGB estimation.

• Impact of Global Warming on Vegetation in the Tibetan Plateau (2026) · Theoretical and Natural Science · doi

  The model's simulation of future carbon cycle trends on the plateau is subject to significant uncertainty. The estimation of carbon functions in some types of ecosystems is still based on insufficient field data. The study did not measure the influence of people's actions on vegetation changes.

• Estimation of forest carbon storage with small samples based on Bayesian hierarchical model (2026) · Frontiers in Forests and Global Change · doi

  The accuracy of forest carbon storage estimation is often limited by sample size and vegetation heterogeneity. Prior studies have not fully addressed the issue of small sample size and vegetation heterogeneity.
