Abstract
Remotely sensed image and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology has been used effectively in the evaluation of current vegetation cover status and in monitoring of vegetation cover change. This approach helds to overcome the disadvantages of the traditional methods of investigation in forestry. This study presents a summary of the results of vegetation cover mapping in Yok Don National Park at scale of 1:50,000 by using SPOT5 image captured in January 2011, in which the rich evergreen broadleaf forest has 4145.76 ha; average evergreen broadleaf forest has 16928.97 ha; dipterocarp forest has 84595.43 ha of and poor semi-deciduous broadleaf forest covers 8216.88 ha. In combination with survey data of the surface biomass of these forest types, the stock of accumulation carbon in each forest types was estimated. The total of carbon stock of Yok Don National Park is 5,861,237.48 tons. This is the original scientific basis for estimating the economic value of the forest environment of Yok Don National Park through participation in the carbon market.
