H. Hansen) www.umb.no Climate change mitigation and Tanzanian forests NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF LIFE SCIENCES Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management Area estimates Areas may be measured on the ground, either by triangulation using surveying equipment, or GPS. These methods are both time consuming and expensive and best suited for small areas with very high precision requirements. Areas may be measured on aerial photographs. This is expensive if aerial photography is ordered for this particular use alone. Areas may be measured on satellite images based on 9 reflected sunlight. Classification of vegetation types may be assisted by competent personnel, or be made unassisted by computer. Using satellite images is the preferred method in most modern applications for large areas of low unit value. www.umb.no Climate change mitigation and Tanzanian forests NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF LIFE SCIENCES Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management 10 www.umb.no Climate change mitigation and Tanzanian forests NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF LIFE SCIENCES Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management Biomass measurements Biomass density may be measured on temporary or permanent sample plots in the field. Trees (and bushes) are measured in various ways, e.g. stem diameter, height, crown diameter, etc. These measurements are transformed by allometric functions into estimates of volume or weight of individual trees or bushes. Biomass density may be estimated on the basis of crown cover measured on aerial photos. Biomass estimates may be based on data collected by the use of light emitted from an airborne or satellite laser, or from an airborne or satellite radar. 11 The three latter methods (photo, laser, radar) require some sample plots on the ground where trees are measured manually. Such data is necessary in order to calibrate the remote sensing data. www.umb.no Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF LIFE SCIENCES Climate change mitigation and Tanzanian forests Combining area estimates with estiamated biomass density 12 www.umb.no Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF LIFE SCIENCES Climate change mitigation and Tanzanian forests Air-borne laser 13 www.umb.no Points of reflection distributed in space Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF LIFE SCIENCES Climate change mitigation and Tanzanian forests Remote sensing of biomass density in forests 14 www.umb.no Climate change mitigation and Tanzanian forests NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF LIFE SCIENCES Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management Sampling Stratified sampling Sampling percentage Permanent plots Temporary plots Stratification: 15 Forest types [rain forest (flooded or not), montane forest, seasonal green forest, open forest, shrub, savanna, etc.], cropland, grazing land Agro-ecological zones, regions, districts Biomass density The smaller the reporting unit, the larger sampling percentage is required to give precise estimates www.umb.no Climate change mitigation and Tanzanian forests NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF LIFE SCIENCES Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management Proposed laser project 1. If FRA2010/NFI decides to measure ground plots either from FRA2010 tiles or along the lines formed by FRA2010 tiles (see map), we should consider offering to fly LiDAR along these lines of FRA2010 tiles in all, or parts of, Tanzania. If we fly all over Tanzania, it will imply flying a total distance of ca 9000 stripe-km, which will give a systematic sample of laser data for all of Tanzania. Calibrated with field data from below the flight corridors, one would be able to give a national biomass estimate for the whole of Tanzania in less than one year (given that field data are measured during the same period). We may even be able to break the estimate down into regional partial estimates. 2. In addition we should select one of the three "ecosystems" as an object for detailed studies, where we either fly wall-to-wall with LiDAR or fly stripes very close (as proposed in Brazil) in an area of 5-10,000 km2. In this area we must establish a set of separate sample plots on the ground. Observations from these plots will be used to calibrate LiDAR measurements of biomass. This set of data will serve two purposes: – 2a: GEO/FCT sites – 2b: detailed studies of design of laser-mapping of biomass through sampling 16 – 2c: “ground” validation of SAR-study. If we choose tropical rain forest as a case, this will be complementary to Brazil since we may find higher biomass density than in Amazonia. www.umb.no Climate change mitigation and Tanzanian forests NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF LIFE SCIENCES Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management Precision Sm (%) 40 30 20 - CV1 10 - CV2 00 10 20 30 40 Sample plots (n) 50 Relationship between accuracy (Sm) and number of plots (n) according to different patterns of spatial variation Sm = Standard error CV = Coefficient of variation For the REDD-activities in Tanzania, where a lot of different inventories will be performed, it will be of crucial importance to gain basic knowledge on patterns of spatial variation for biomass ha-1 (or volume or basal area ha-1) under different forest conditions and plot designs. A research project to approach these challenges could be performed along the following lines; 1. 17 2. 3. Systematic review of previously performed inventories with respect to spatial variation Undertake inventories in selected study areas covering important vegetation types and inventory designs Perform theoretical inventory simulations in order to select optimal inventory strategies under different conditions and requirements www.umb.no Climate change mitigation and Tanzanian forests NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF LIFE SCIENCES Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management Frequency How often will new area estimates be presented?
