2. Techniques for vegetation and
biomass inventory
• Stratification based on land cover classes or
carbon stock
• Systematic, random or line sampling
• Measure major carbon pools
• Standard error, 5 – 20 %
• Multi purpose inventory
The need for integrating all initiatives on forest
and vegetation inventory

9. Interpolation method
- Interpolation of peat depth points
- Assuming the peat depth at boundaries are
0
Regression method (Balhorn et al, 2018)
- Define the boundary of the peatlands
- Develop relationship between peat depth
points and DTM
