Montpellierhttp://hdl.handle.net/10198/19337Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD and REDD+) recommend specific approaches for quantifying and spatializing ecosystem services (ES). In the context of climate change, REDD recommends the mapping of carbon stocks and its sequestration by vegetation cover to implement more appropriate environmental management practices and policies against global warming. Forest carbon mapping is a current and important environmental tool for a better land management as successful implementation of climate change mitigation (Saatchi et al., 2011). This study presents the mapping of carbon sequestration using two different approaches.engClimate changeIPCCCarbon dioxideGeoprocessingMODISCarbon mapping in Portugal forest and agroforestry systems using direct remote sensing and combine assign approachesconference poster
