DETERMINING FOREST CARBON SEQUESTRATION CAPACITY BY REMOTE SENSING – GIS COMBINED WITH QUICK MEASUREMENT METHOD (CASE STUDY IN QUE PHONG DISTRICT, NGHE AN PROVINCE)

Tóm tắt

The article clarifies the potential for payment for forest environment in the study area, focusing on the carbon sequestration services. Remote sensing - Geographic information system (GIS) method is used in research to map land cover, identify and update forest status. The fieldwork method in combination the quick measurement method was used to identify the sample plots and calculate forest biomass. The research results have shown the great carbon sequestration potential of the study area. This is an opportunity to enhance the value of payment for forest services when implementing carbon markets in the study area.
