Overview

This analysis reports on carbon stock differences in managed versus unmanaged forests, suggesting remote sensing can enhance monitoring.

Key Points

  • The study finds that differences in carbon stocks between managed and unmanaged forests were not detectable through remote sensing.
  • Using a combination of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 improved the carbon stock estimation model accuracy to R2=0.73 compared to R2=0.56 with just Sentinel-2.
  • The approach incorporated remote sensing data from Sentinel-2, Sentinel-1, and GEDI into a generalized additive model to estimate carbon stock.
  • This study highlights the challenges of utilizing remote sensing technology for accurate carbon monitoring, particularly the effects of signal saturation.
