Abstract

Measurement of forest carbon on the ground in a large scale is time-consuming and expensive. This research utilized remote sensing with Sentinel-2B image through its Vegetation Index and related those values with those obtained from field measurements and Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS). This study specifically compares the forest stand carbon value using TLS and field measurements and link it to the vegetation index. This study transforms the vegetation indices, i.e.: Transformed Vegetation Index (TVI), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Simple Ratio (SR) from Sentinel-2B imagery and relates them with field measurements and TLS. The calculation of carbon in forest stands using TLS revealed an average carbon of 151.35 ton/Ha. In contrast, in the field measurements, carbon was measured at 149.81 ton/Ha, and statistically, there was no difference between these two measurements. The relationship between the vegetation index and field measurements showed the best coefficient of correlation of TVI with (r) = 0.784 and (R2) = 0.524. The relationship between the vegetation index and TLS measurements showed the best coefficient of correlation of TVI with (r) = 0.759 and the coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.577.
