Recently, a set of scientific data about "Asia's tallest tree"caused extensive attention among all levels of society. The weighing work of "Asia's tallest tree" was completed by a forest Lidar remote sensing research team including Yan Fei, associate professor of the College of Forestry, Fan Guangpeng, faculty of the School of Information Science and Technology, and Zhang Zhiwei, Tibet Agricultural and Animal Husbandry University, and other faculties and students. It is estimated that the tallest tree in Asia weighs 183,139.1 kg, the carbon storage in the body is 100,365.6 kg with its age reaching 1841 years old. This achievement was reported by the official website of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, Beijing Daily, China Green Times, China Science Journal, People's Number, China Forestry Education and many other authoritative media.

The project is named "Research on Carbon Sequestration ability of dominant tree species in Southeast Tibet with multi-source Lidar Combined with digital twin", and the team members carried out multi-source Lidar measurement and investigation of cypress wood in southern Tibet in Nyingchi City in June this year. In the Forestry Intelligent Information Processing Engineering Technology Research Center of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, they used the data obtained to construct an accurate three-dimensional model of "Asia's tallest tree" with advanced processing technology, presenting its morphology and characteristics to measure the relevant growth parameters and other detailed information.

It is reported that Yan Fei is a pairing-assistance teacher to Tibet Agricultural and Animal Husbandry University, and this work is also the achievement of the in-depth scientific research cooperation between BFU and the supporting institutions.
