Abstract

The technology for estimation of carbon reserves on the forest-covered territories using the results of sensing of such territories from satellite-based optical and radio frequency bandwidths sensors is suggested. The development is illustrated by calculation of carbon reserves volume in the forests of Sumy Region, Ukraine.

KEY WORDS:  remote sensing, forest, carbon reserves, database
