Abstract

Mangrove canopy density is one of the important variables for monitoring the health of mangrove vegetation. The vegetation index in satellite imagery is one of the variables that can be used to estimate the distribution of mangrove forest canopy cover. This study aims to predict the distribution of canopy cover of mangrove planted in Lubuk Kertang. The method used is regression analysis by connecting the NDVI value in the Sentinel 2A satellite image with the canopy density value in the field. Measurement of canopy cover in the field using a fisheye camera. The use of GIS is used to determine the spatial distribution of canopy cover. This study indicates that the linear regression model can estimate the canopy density distribution of mangrove vegetation in Lubuk Kertang with an R square value of 53.6% (sig < 0.005).
