Satellite-Based Remote Sensing for Monitoring Soil Carbon Sequestration in Agroforestry Systems

Given that soil carbon sequestration is now widely recognized as an important tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving soil health, encouragement to adopt such strategies is necessary as the acceleration of climate change. Due to their vast and complex nature, agroforestry systems that are known for their potential. The remote sensing approach for monitoring the soil carbon sequestration in agroforestry systems presented in this study is based on a satellite. The satellite imagery using which the proposed framework is integrated is combined with ground truth data to estimate radiometric calibration, atmospheric correction, vegetation indices, soil carbon. NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) values are thoroughly analyzed by correlating this data to soil carbon in order to understand in detail carbon sequestration on various agroforestry practices. Overall, the results show that mixed species and intercropping agroforestry systems have much higher soil carbon storage capabili3ty than single species or non agroforestry practices. Satellite based remote sensing offers both advantages and disadvantages when it comes to informing soil carbon dynamics of this study shows. With these findings, it becomes evident that diversified agroforestry are absolutely crucial in the mitigation of climate change and enhancement of soil quality. This approach enables one to base decisions on sustainable land management on satellite data and reinforces the role that agroforestry can play as a transformative intervention aimed at enhancing environmental sustainability.
