Abstract
Many techniques for the assessment of Carbone sequestration are developed for classic forests. But less researchers are interested in the evaluation of the Carbone sequestration capacity of marginal forests. In this paper, we propose an innovative technique of evaluating the capacity of Carbon sequestration of marginal forests, based on a new allometric equation and a new technique of colored and multiband image classification.
Based on a series of 151 plots identified and characterized in 15 training representative sites, we identify the various species present on the site of study and we customize the Brown allometric equation. The obtained equation is successfully used to assess the capacity of Carbone sequestration of marginal forests in Adamawa Cameroon. Finally, we obtain that the gallery forests of Mayo Paro sequestered 194.22 t/ha while closed plant formations of Vina sequestered 108.85 t/ha. These results are validated through a verification mission on the site of study.
