Kyoto REDD monitoring

Satellite-based applications were developed in the context of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) monitoring for

• determining land use and forest extent
• detecting, monitoring and quantifying changes
• detecting forest degradation
• quantifying stem volume and carbon stock changes
   

 
The system integrates various forest information including forest inventories, maps, sampling systems and remote sensing imagery. It was implemented in various Central American regions and allows the quantification, assessment and verification of changes against the baseline.
