Allometric equations coupled with remotely sensed variables to estimate carbon stocks in date palms
This study aims at developing specific allometric biomass equations that can be integrated
into a remote sensing (RS) based model for assessing carbon sequestered in date palms.
Assessing the potential of date palms to improve soil carbon sequestration was another
objective. In a previous study, the authors demonstrated that combinations of visible and
short wave single bands (Red, SWIR1, SWIR2) besides vegetation indices (DVI, NDI and
RVI) derived from Landsat imagery correlated significantly with date palms' biomass. Here …
