Abstract
This research aimed to determine the relationship between above-ground carbon sequestration and vegetation index derived from Sentinel-2 satellite data to estimate the above-ground carbon sequestration of a reforestation site at Mae Moh mine in the Lampang province. Twenty five permanent plots of size 40 m × 40 m were selected and tree data, including diameter at breast height (DBH) and total height (H), were collected. An allometric equation was developed to determine the relationship between the above-ground carbon sequestration and vegetation index through linear regression. The results showed that the above-ground carbon sequestration estimated through RVI (ratio vegetation index) was sufficiently accurate. The model was of the form y = - 65.57 + 57.57x (R2 = 0.75), with an RMSE of 11.14 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per hectare. The average estimated above-ground carbon sequestration was 41.56 tons of carbon per hectare, while the total above-ground carbon sequestered at the reforestation site was 81,843.28 tons of carbon. The average carbon dioxide adsorption was 152.53 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per hectare, while the total carbon dioxide adsorbed by the reforestation site being 300,374.28 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
