  Quantifying Carbon Sequestration of Forest Ecosystem Using GIS and Remote Sensing: The Case of Yeraba State Forest East Gojjam Zone Amhara Regional State
  Author(s): Tilahun Abie Fetene*
  
  Understanding and accurately quantifying carbon stocks in forest ecosystems are critical for climate change mitigation and sustainable forest management. This study by Tilahun Abie employs a Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing data to assess carbon sequestration in the Yeraba State Forest, Ethiopia. The research aims to offer reliable information on forest carbon stocks for forest administrators, policymakers, and development agents. Through the use of allometric equations and advanced remote sensing techniques, specifically Sentinel-2 imagery, the study quantifies Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) and carbon stock, in addition to other carbon pools including Below- Ground Biomass (BGC), litter biomass, and Soil Organic Carbon (SOC). The robustness of various vegetation indices in estimating the carbon stock is examined, with the Variable Difference Vegetation Index (VDVI).. View more»
