Abstract:
A total of 615
Pinus yunnanensis seedlings from 20 families were selected to study the influence of different sample sizes on biomass model construction and modelling accuracy. Different sampling sizes of 20 families of
P.yunnanensis were used to establish the allometric equation of each organ and individual biomass of
P.yunnanensis seedlings, after a sampling frame was established. The goodness of fit and accuracy of the optimal models were compared by the coefficient determination(R
2), standard error of estimated value(SEE), root mean square error(RMSE), total relative error(RS) and mean absolute error(MAB). The allometric equation displayed a good biomass estimate of
P.yunnanensis seedlings. With the increase of the sample size, the model precision evaluation index MAB decreases gradually in the form of power function. When the sample size is less than 200, MAB is more sensitive and the modeling accuracy is poor. If the sample size reaches about 200, the accuracy reaches a stable state.
