Abstract
In this research paper Forest Canopy Density (FCD) and Aster DEM monitoring of dense forest is carried out in East Singhbhum district is situated at the southeast corner of Jharkhand. This model calculates forest canopy density using the three indices of bare soil index (BSI), shadow index (SI) and vegetation index. For this, the LANDSAT 8 images are used. At first, the dense forest map was prepared by using forest canopy density modeling whose overall accuracy is 86 to 90%. Aster DEM is used to calculate Aspect, Elevation, Hillshade maps. Aspect, Elevation and Hillshade map point out the dense forest from our region. At last, the change in area of dense forest is distinguished by using the FCD model map and map formed by interpretation Aspect, Elevation, Hillshade map.
Highlights
A day’s Urbanization, Mining and Industrialization and so on are general direction for social, money and economical development
The calculated index has been termed as an advanced vegetation index (AVI)
By analyzing the above map we observe that there is a maximum dense forest given by the Forest Canopy Density (FCD) model, whereas other two techniques which applied on Aster Digital Elevation Model (DEM) i.e. Aspect Map And Elevation Map give approx. extend of Dense forest by interpretation, it which is not as good as FCD model
Summary
A day’s Urbanization, Mining and Industrialization and so on are general direction for social, money and economical development. The great space is used for these activities and for this reason, forest areas are increased and deforestation is common hard question. Forest area act as a parameter to measures of forest density and varieties of plants which are major issues of biodiversity and so on which are kept protected. Forest management is the important part of our sustainable development. In a move to our current issue, International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) developed a new methodology [4]. In this new methodology, forest position (in society) is the value put on the base of its cover relation between mass and size. The methodologies called the Forest cover relation between mass and size mapping design or in short the FCD design
