To address the needs for ecological monitoring in arid and semi−arid areas, this study proposes a synergistic inversion and digital representation framework for shrub aboveground biomass (AGB) driven by the fusion of UAV multispectral and LiDAR features. Leveraging the 3D structural sensing advantages of UAV−LiDAR and the spectral−texture features of UAV−MS, the study establishes a technical workflow of "object segmentation−feature selection−synergistic inversion." This framework enables the automatic identification and precise biomass accounting for typical shrubs such as Artemisia ordosica and Salix psammophila. Taking seven typical shrub communities in the Ordos region as the study area, technical validation was conducted based on ground−truth data. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively overcomes the limitations of "same spectrum, different objects" in single optical remote sensing and the lack of spectral information in single LiDAR data. The XGBoost model achieves the best comprehensive performance under multi−source feature synergy (R2 ranging from 0.7615 to 0.8814). It exhibits good generalization capabilities across different plant types and complex backgrounds, realizing the digital representation of shrub ecological assets and significantly improving the data production efficiency and technical reliability of biomass monitoring in arid and semi−arid areas.
