Estimation of aboveground mangrove carbon stocks from WorldView-2 imagery based on generic and species-specific allometric equations

The aboveground mangrove carbon stock can be estimated and mapped from remote-sensing data using allometric equations. However, the distinct effects of applying the generic or species-specific allometric equations remain unclear in the mangrove environment. The aims of this study are to (1) describe...

description The aboveground mangrove carbon stock can be estimated and mapped from remote-sensing data using allometric equations. However, the distinct effects of applying the generic or species-specific allometric equations remain unclear in the mangrove environment. The aims of this study are to (1) describe the relationship between field biomass and image pixels using generic and species-specific allometric equations, (2) estimate and map the mangrove carbon stock at the generic and species-specific levels, and (3) compare the accuracy and distribution of the resulting mangrove carbon stock maps. We tested the performance of these allometric equations using a resampled WorldView-2 image (6 m pixel size). The study site was in Clungup Mangrove Conservation (CMC), Malang, East Java and included natural mangrove forests and well-planted mangroves. We used the simple ratio (SR) vegetation index to estimate and map the aboveground carbon stock (AGC) of the mangroves based on the WorldView-2 image. Overall, the results indicate that the use of a generic allometric equation estimates mangrove AGC more accurately than the species-specific equations. However, we found a low coefficient of determination (R2) for both models: 0.2175 for the generic model and 0.1801 for the species-specific one. This may be due to the mangrove objects’ high variation in internal spectral reflectance at the tested image pixel size. The total estimated mangrove AGC obtained was 3,834.15 tons with a standard error of 0.12 for the generic model and 4,927.90 tons with a standard error of 0.17 for the species-specific model. Our findings substantiate the importance of the selection of allometric equations for mangrove AGC studies based on remote-sensing images.
