The proposed tool quantifies aboveground biomass by combining multi-spectral optical imagery and spaceborne LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) remote sensing data. The tool enables continuous monitoring of forest carbon stock in a large area and can be used with AFOLU methodologies to measure the baseline and growth of carbon stock.
SUMMARY OF DEVELOPMENT
The methodology idea note was rejected by Verra, as per Section 3.1.7(3) of the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process, v4.3 (PDF). The proposal overlaps with an ongoing initiative to revise VT0005 Tool for Measuring Aboveground Live Forest Biomass using Remote Sensing, v1.0.
