Abstract
In 2012, 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 highresolution
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
h i g h - r e s o l u t i o n r e m o t e s e n s i n g a p p r o a c h e s i n f o r e s t l a n d u s e
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.
