Abstract

Carbon stock in soil is an important part of the continent's carbon sink. To calculate the amount of carbon emissions from the soil, it is required to identify other soil objects. Following the recommendations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the use of soil classification system would be served for carbon emission’s estimation. Besides, carbon stocks vary by climate regions and soil types. Remote sensing technolog with transparency, multi-time and wide coverage is useful in this direction. The article focuses on ability of soils mapping establisment using remote sesing technology according to ipcc's technical specifications for calculating carbon emissions in Vietnam.. The result was used in the second times of Vietnam biennial update report to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change that included content, updated information of greenhouse gas emission.
