dc.description.abstractOld plantations are iconic sites, and estimating stand parameters is crucial for valuation and management. This study aimed to estimate stand parameters of a 115-year-old Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi (Lamb.) Carrière) plantation at the University of Tokyo Hokkaido Forest (UTHF) in central Hokkaido, northern Japan, using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry. High-resolution RGB imagery was collected using a DJI Matrice 300 real-time kinematic (RTK) at altitudes of 80 and 120 m. Structure from motion (SfM) technology was applied to generate 3D point clouds and orthomosaics. We used different filtering methods, search radii, and window sizes for individual tree detection (ITD), and tree height (TH) and crown area (CA) were estimated from a canopy height model (CHM). Additionally, a freely available shiny R package (SRP) and manually digitalized CA were used. A multiple linear regression (MLR) model was used to estimate the diameter at breast height (DBH), stem volume (V), and carbon stock (CST). Higher accuracy was obtained for ITD (F-score: 0.8–0.87) and TH (R2: 0.76–0.77; RMSE: 1.45–1.55 m) than for other stand parameters. Overall, the flying altitude of the UAV and selected filtering methods influenced the success of stand parameter estimation in old-aged plantations, with the UAV at 80 m generating more accurate results for ITD, CA, and DBH, while the UAV at 120 m produced higher accuracy for TH, V, and CST with Gaussian and mean filtering.en_US
