Abstract:
This study aims to estimate leaf area index (LAI) and above ground carbon sequestration (AGCS) of Bangkachao area. Six areas are selected as the study area. These are Bangkachao, Bangnamphueng, Bangyoe, Bangkrasorb, Bangkorbau and Songkanong.This study applies geoinformetics process, allometric equations, and fieldwork survey as a major of research methods. The result from allometric method of LAI at Tumbon Bangkachao, Bangnamphueng, Bangyoe, Bangkrasorb, Bangkorbau and Songkanong are approximately 5.70, 6.22, 5.58, 7.76, 5.43 and5.54 respectively. The AGCS is approximately 13,230.812, 2,746.37, 7,640.74487, 56,083.901, 9,870.3403 and 9,419.8048 kilograms of carbon respectively. The study can conclude that the fieldwork data and allometric equations can be effectively applied to estimate LAI and AGCS. At last, the results of this study can be implemented as a database for existing greenfield management as well as planning for new greenfield site.
