Title
A method to estimate forest biomass and its application to monitor Mongolian Taiga using AVHRR and Vegetation
Abstract
This study reported the potential approach of the modeling to estimate boreal forest above ground biomass using NDVI in the northern region of Mongolia. The regional relationships between the satellite-derived NDVI and annual mean climatologically parameters (temperature and precipitation) between the years 1995-2000 in the growth season were carried out for the model development. In order to develop algorithms for estimating woody stand biomass, regional coefficients of the forest which are taken from inventory data, were considered. The woody biomass of 3547.5 thousand hectares (ha) of boreal and temperate forests in Mongolian northern part, was estimated from NOAA/AVHRR and SPOT-4/Vegetation data. Analytical model test indicated that it can be, used to analyze between-year differences in biomass carbon pool change.
