The total AGB fluctuated in the periods between the years and From these maps, the statistics of the distribution were extracted to observe the dynamics of AGB and thus, C stock changes within the study area. Sessa R, Dolman H, editors. CO 2 emission and removal The term CO 2 , known as carbon dioxide, is defined as a natural, colorless and odorless greenhouse gas that is emitted when fossil fuels i. Time-series changes of AGB Since the prediction equation has been developed from two sets of data i.

These crops will continue to sequester carbon and thus increase the AGB. In the meantime, there were also some areas that indicated increments in AGB, which were the result of carbon sequestration, especially in totally protected areas.
This process was performed to create clear-cut boundaries of forest cover so that the estimation of AGB is not influenced by other features on the images. Anthropogenic activities and natural phenomena can cause deforestation and forest degradation that adversely impacts biodiversity and ecosystem services.

There were also some areas within the study area that were designated as forest plantations. However, some modifications have been made on the design to suit the conditions of forests in Peninsular Malaysia. Mosauc, when the AGB images were draped over each other, the deforested areas are visibly enhanced as consequent of the loss of C stocks [ 3738 ].
To overcome this problem, several image variables were produced from the alps HH and HV polarizations. Contributor Information Hamdan Omar, Phone: Tree species from the Dipterocarpacea family are common in these forests and thus make the forests the primary timber production areas in Peninsular Malaysia. These forests cover approximately 5.
Since the forest surveys were conducted in two phases, i. Normally these areas involved a considerable extent of land and als visible on the AGB maps. The differences that exist in these statistics reflect the overall changes that have occurred within the study areas because they accounted for millions of pixels.
A cluster is made up of at least four sub-plots, which are circular with several levels of nests inside, as shown in Fig. The financial support to conduct the ground activities and staff mobilizations was provided modaic the Forest Research Institute Malaysia, through the 11th Malaysian Plan for research and development funds. Moreover, forest inventory databased methods cannot give historical information about forest biomass if there were no existing forest inventory data. Although the harvesting is palear selectively, the extraction of timber will eventually reduce a considerable amount of existing AGB in those particular areas.

These biomass estimations are valid up to a certain threshold where saturation occurs, Lucas et al. Muhamad Afizzul Misman, Email: For each year and location, the strip data were selected through visual inspection of the browse mosaics available over the period, with those showing minimum response to surface moisture preferentially Time-series maps of aboveground carbon stocks in the forests of central Sumatra.
Published online Oct The study revealed that the HV polarization was very useful for delineating forest cover, similar to previous studies that were previously reported [ 28 ]. Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. The cross-validation process is then repeated k times the foldswith each of the k subsamples used exactly once as the validation data [ 27 ].
The number of pixels that fall within low AGB values increased significantly in the year An assessment of deforestation and forest degradation drivers in developing countries. In the study, plots were surveyed within two phases, and these were used as sample plots. Forestry Department Peninsular Malaysia; The high variation in errors are present in the high biomass region i. The most accurate way of calculating biomass is destructive sampling and forest inventory data using allometric equations Anitha K.
This is mainly because tree density depends on the forest types, tree species, and site conditions, etc. Statistical analysis was undertaken to correlate the forest inventory data. Biomass information is useful to calculate CO 2 emissions due to deforestation. However, it is often confused with rubber plantations because the backscatter from this crop is identical to that from forest canopies on both HH and HV polarizations [ 11 ].
Generally, each prediction function estimated the AGB within the study area at approximately the same level palsra accuracy, with small variations of RMSE.
