I believe in calculating forest carbon sequestration with allometric equations and remote sensing data, we can perform the following steps:

1- Ideally, use species-specific allometric equations for accurate results.

2- Develop these equations through field data or remote sensing by measuring tree attributes and biomass.

3- we can also use allometric equations from published sources, but ensure they are appropriate for our specific forest or tree species, and be prepared to adapt them if needed.

Thank you for your question! Using allometric equations to calculate carbon sequestration in a forest through remote sensing data is a valuable approach to estimate forest biomass and, by extension, carbon storage. To address your query:

It's essential to keep in mind that while using established allometric equations can be a valuable resource, they should be used cautiously and in conjunction with ground-based data if available, to enhance the accuracy of your calculations. Additionally, consulting with experts in your specific forest type or region can provide valuable insights into the selection and application of allometric equations.

GOOD LUCK

Abolghasem Goorabi Thank you.

In order to determine the amount of carbon sequestered in forests, is it enough to examine only the above ground biomass or do we also need to look at other carbon pools like litter, below ground biomass, etc..
