| الوصف: | Using the object-based image analysis (OBIA) technique, this study examined structural characteristics, quantified carbon stocks, and identified tree species in the tropical forests of southwestern Nigeria. The Structure from Motion (SfM) technique was used to produce orthomosaics with a ground sampling distance of 10 m from orthophotos recorded during a survey and optimized for forest assessment with the near-infrared band. In addition to tree species variables, GPS coordinates, tree diameter, and tree crown were all employed to estimate carbon stock in the study area. Carbon stock estimates of 450 tons per hectare were estimated , with a tree-specific range of 65 kg per tree to 8,488 kg per tree. There was a correlation between tree canopies and diameters, but no conclusive relationships between tree species distribution and position in their natural formations. OBIA significantly enhanced the current carbon inventory and provided a spatial characterization of species distribution in the research area. |
