Mapping deforestation and forest degradation using CLASlite approach in Eastern Churia of Nepal / S. Khanal in BANKO JANAKARI - वनको जानकारी : A Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal, 26: 1 (2016)

Title : Mapping deforestation and forest degradation using CLASlite approach in Eastern Churia of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: S. Khanal, Author ; A. Khadka, Author Publication Date: 2016 Article on page: 17-23 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Churia, CLASlite, deforestation, forest degradation, spectral mixtureanalysis Abstract: Monitoring deforestation and forest degradation is essential for forest conservation
and sustainable management. Those activities have become more relevant in order
to get reference emission level required for Reducing emissions from deforestation
and forest degradation (REDD) initiative. The study aimed to assess forest
degradation and deforestation in the Churia region of Eastern Nepal using CLASlite
approach. This approach is based on Spectral Mixture Analysis and provides
highly automated technique for forest cover, deforestation and forest degradation
mapping. The Landsat imageries of 2002 and 2013 were processed for estimation
of deforestation and forest degradation. The validation of results based on the
high-resolution multi-temporal Google Earth imageries and the field sample plots
indicated that CLASlite approach could be feasible approach to monitor forests for
deforestation and degradation. The results can be further improved by including
more frequent time-series observation from Landsat.Link for e-copy: http://lib.frtc.gov.np/elibrary/?r=574
