Integrating Kernel-Based Vegetation Indices and Ensemble Learning for Mangrove Canopy Height Mapping Using GEDI and Sentinel Data
Mangrove canopy height (MCH) is a fundamental structural variable for monitoring ecosystem health and quantifying carbon stocks. However, MCH retrieval from optical satellite imagery is often constrained by spectral saturation in dense stands and environmental noise in intertidal zones. This study investigates the util...
