Assessment of carbon stock (CS) in various land use/land cover (LULC) types is essential for environmental policies focused on reducing CO2 emissions and mitigating climate change. This study utilized the CA-Markov model to simulate future LULC scenarios InVEST evaluate CS changes Pakistan from 2001 2030. The employed two decades yearly composite data MODIS, achieving high accuracy with a kappa value 0.856. results indicate that an increase 38.1 × 103 km2 cultivated could lead increment 13.5 Tg Pakistan's total CS. In comparison, forest area can be reason raising above-ground (AGC) by 16.8 Tg. These findings enhance understanding long-term Pakistan. provides valuable insights governments refine use strategies, adjust emission reduction policies, design better regulations based study's findings. Key recommendations include promoting vertical urban development preserve sequestration areas, implementing strict agricultural zoning laws, expanding afforestation initiatives like Billion Tree Tsunami Green Pakistan, establishing national monitoring program. Integrating sources will create comprehensive database inform policy decisions management practices, contributing global change mitigation efforts.

Forest ecosystems play a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle and climate change mitigation. aboveground biomass (AGB), critical indicator of storage sequestration capacity, has garnered significant attention ecological research. Recently, uncrewed aerial vehicle-borne laser scanning (ULS) technology emerged as promising tool for rapidly acquiring three-dimensional spatial information on AGB vegetation storage. This study evaluates applicability accuracy UAV-LiDAR estimating spatiotemporal dynamics Robinia pseudoacacia (R. pseudoacacia) plantations gully regions Loess Plateau, China. At sample plot scale, optimal parameters individual tree segmentation (ITS) based canopy height model (CHM) were determined, was validated. The results showed root mean square error (RMSE) values 13.17 trees (25.16%) count, 0.40 m (3.57%) average (AH), 320.88 kg (16.94%) AGB. regression model, which links with AH generated estimates that closely matched observed values. watershed ULS data used to estimate R.

Forest carbon sinks are crucial in mitigating climate change as integral components of the global cycle. Accurately estimating forest using traditional remote sensing indices, such Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI), presents significant challenges, particularly complex terrains and regions with variable climates. These limitations hinder effective capture photosynthetic dynamics. To address this gap, study leverages Sun-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF) sensing, highlighting its superiority over indices capturing processes offering a more precise approach to climate-sensitive mountainous areas. Using SIF data from GOSIF, alongside models for light-use efficiency ecosystem respiration, estimates Qinba Mountains China during growing season (June September) 2011 2018. The results further validated analyzed terms age type. Key findings include: (1) average annual was approximately 24.51 TgC; (2) Spatially, higher values (average 36.79 gC·m⁻2·month⁻1) were concentrated western central areas, while southeastern central-northern exhibited lower 7.75 gC·m⁻2·month⁻1); (3) Temporally, minimal interannual variation observed northwest, whereas southeast showed fluctuating trends, an initial decline followed by increase; (4) significantly influenced age, type, altitude. Our demonstrate that plantation forests aged 10 30 years exhibit superior sequestration capacity compared natural forests, 70 90 also show potential. underscore influence characteristics on By examining these spatiotemporal patterns Mountains, our offers valuable insights advancing China’s ‘dual carbon’ goals, emphasizing importance strategic management change.
