UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS OF CARBON STOCK ESTIMATION BASED ON REMOTE SENSING

METHOD OF TROPICAL FOREST PEATLAND IN SUNGAI LINAU, SIAK KECIL DISTRICT,

BENGKALIS REGENCY
Research Method and Budget Proposal of Megan’s Undergraduate Thesis research

1. Research Method

Important note:

Either parametric or nonparametric approach will be used to make the AGB

biomass model. The quality of the model depens on the size and the quality of the
sample. In this study, every class of NDVI requires minimum of 3 sample for the total
class ranged between 3-5 classes. There will be a possibility of using active sensor
data (Sentinel 1 SAR - backscatter value) if the former model doesn’t perform well
statistically.

Field Measurement

The sampling method is stratified random sampling using linier transect

circular plot with 30 meters interval between each plot in the same transect. The
circular plot radius is 11,2 meters in every class. All trees with diameter >5cm will
be measured to gather diameter at breast height data. Species identification of the
tree is required to build the biomass model. The identification will be conducted
afterwards based on the picture of the trees and through the identification process.
Peat data will be collected in each class to be analyzed in Soil Laboratory of
Universitas Riau.
