Above-ground biomass estimation for urban management using remote sensing / Ahmad Taufiq Hosni
Deforestation has been a notable and common threat to the world and it is generally due to the rapid development of commercial, residential and industrial area. This rapid urbanization accompanied with excessive release of carbon dioxide (CO2) from transportation, manufacturing plant and domestic es...

Deforestation has been a notable and common threat to the world and it is generally due to the rapid development of commercial, residential and industrial area. This rapid urbanization accompanied with excessive release of carbon dioxide (CO2) from transportation, manufacturing plant and domestic establishment are also the main reasons to cause climate change in an urban environment. One way to fix these issues is through the planting of urban forest as it is able to help in achieving low carbon city. Therefore, quantifying the above-ground biomass inside an urban area can help in understanding and visualize the condition of the above-ground biomass and carbon storage. Remote sensing technology is one of many technologies that are capable in monitoring and quantifying the above-ground biomass in a large and small scale area with less man-power and time consume and also cost efficient. This study aims to quantify the changes of landcover and the above-ground biomass that occur in Bandar Meru Raya, Ipoh from 1995 to 2005 and from 2005 to 2015 using Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 images. |
