    Estimation of Emission changes about green house effect gasses by land-cover changes using remote sensing and GIS in Sumatra Island, Indonesia

    Result and Discussion

    Developed GHG database at Pasir mayang area
    The land cover maps of Pasir mayang area in 1993 and 1995 were indicated as Fig. 2. Estimation of above ground carbon stock is calculated by multiplying the unite value by total area of each land cover using the land cover maps of Pasir mayang area in 1993 and 1995. The same method was applied for calculating the total emission of GHG. These results are shown as table 1 and table 2. Logged forest was the most dominant land-cover in Pasir mayang, followed by rubber and secondary vegetation (rubber jungle), fallow land (bush/shrubs), grassland and bare land (clear cut area) (Table 1).

    Between 1993-1995, logged forest area decreased of about 5,300 ha, while rubber jungle and fallow land increased 4,872 ha and 225 ha, respectively. Due to this, above ground carbon stock of the area decreased from 11.1 million ton to 10.4 million ton, or have loss of about 0.7 million ton.

    Table 2 summarized the GHG emission of soil in 1993 and 1995. Comparison of the total GHG flux of the two period time studies based on land-cover have showed that there was an increase flux of nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide and absorption reduction of methane.

    Land cover changes
    Land cover patterns in 1986 and 1992 is presented in Table 3. Proportion of primary forest decreased from 33.9% in 1986 to 25.8% in 1992. Fallow lands (shrubs) decreased from 19.3% to 12.5% in 1992. Further analysis of each land cover types is presented in Fig. 3. It shows that about 24% of primary forest area were converted into logged forest, shrubs (fallow lands), cash crop plantation, cultivated and settlement areas. About 30% of logged forest were converted into shrubs, cash crop plantation, a mixture of cultivated and settlements.
