Table 8 Comparison of accuracy metrics for various biomass estimation models in shrubland and broadleaf forest. The Stacking model consistently demonstrates superior performance in terms of \({R}^2\), RMSE, and MAE, highlighting its effectiveness in biomass estimation compared with individual models (best results are highlighted in bold, and the second-best results are italics).
