Abstract
Bogor Agricultural University (IPB), Darmaga Campus has undergone a fairly rapid development, including the new buildings and infrastructures. Unfortunately, this caused a reduction of green open space and contributed to the increasing of carbon dioxide emission. Regarding on this matter, Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS) need to be considered. The purpose of this study was to estimate the amount of above carbon stock in IPB by using remote sensing technology in order to support the low emission program. The above carbon stock was estimated by an allometric equation and field measurement of stand parameters, such as diameter, height, and number of trees, which collected from August to November 2014. The prediction of above ground carbon stock in 2025 was also conducted by using correlation between Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), field measurement as well as consideration of the Darmaga Campus IPB Masterplan. The results showed that the amount of carbon stored reserves highly increased in 1999 – 2009, but it decreased in 2009 – 2025.
