Abstract
"In 2010, This project will conduct the completion of private and public forest land in northern Taiwan monitoring and forestry carbon sequestration effect of land use assessment. Research results will be expected to achieve the following benefits:
1. Make full use of FORMOSAT-II satellite images and other high-resolution satellite images to develop high-resolution remote sensing techniques in the private and public forest monitoring and their carbon sequestration effects. This will reduce financial investment, time and resources to increase cost-effectiveness.
2. Integrating spatial data of public and private forests that have been built in the investigation of geographic information system to develop high-resolution remote sensing approaches in forest land use classification using object-oriented image classification methods for different periods of the private and public forest land-use type changes.
3. The development of high resolution satellite image of the private and public forestland classification and spatial pattern analysis techniques can be applied to landscape analysis and to environmental planning and impact assessment of biodiversity.
4. Vegetation Index with spatial statistical analysis will be applied to meet the private and public forest timber resources survey on the volume, stand aboveground accumulation and accumulation of biomass being conducive to the estimation of forest carbon sequestration.
5. Because study area is located in flat terrain areas, the application methods can reduce the factors of geometric and spectral variation. The research will focus on the high-resolution satellite images of the private and public forest land-use type, forest stand structure in the scenic area at different levels to carry out monitoring and changes in estimates of carbon dioxide sequestration to explore their effectiveness."
