Abstract

In this study, carbon dioxide emission from the 2021 Andong forest fire was analyzed with burn severity, which was classified into high(crown fire), moderate(heat damage), and low(surface fire). Drone videos of the wildland fire area were taken using a multispectral sensor based on UAV and classified by grouping the differences in derived NDVI values between satellite images before the fire and UAV images immediately after the fire. Fuel load consumption and carbon dioxide emission from forest fires were estimated through field investigation of each burn severity site. According to the results of this study, the total burned areas were calculated to be 350ha, of which H(crown fire), M(heat damage), and L(surface fire) were to be 85ha, 125ha, and 141ha, respectively. 15.40ton/ha fire carbon dioxide in H(crown fire), 4.92ton/ha in M(heat damage), 4.69ton/ha in L(surface fire) were emitted from the fire. The total amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the Andong forest fire in 2021 was estimated to be 2,570 tons.
