Identification of a tree canopy density information may use remote sensing data such as Landsat-8 imagery. Remote sensing technology such as digital image processing methods could be used to estimate the tree canopy density. The purpose of this research was to compare the results of accuracy of each method for estimating the tree canopy density and determine the best method for mapping the tree canopy density at the site of research. The methods used in the estimation of the tree canopy density are Single band (green, red, and near-infrared band), vegetation indices (NDVI, SAVI, and MSARVI), and Forest Canopy Density (FCD) model. The test results showed that the accuracy of each method: green 73.66%, red 75.63%, near-infrared 75.26%, NDVI 79.42%, SAVI 82.01%, MSARVI 82.65%, and FCD model 81.27%. Comparison of the accuracy results from the seventh methods indicated that MSARVI is the best method to estimate tree canopy density based on Landsat-8 at the site of research. Estimation tree canopy density with MSARVI method showed that the canopy density at the site of research predominantly 60-70% which spread evenly.

<p><em>Indonesia is one of the owners of the 9th largest forest area in the world. Forest area in Indonesia reaches 884,950 km<sup>2</sup>. Tebo Regency is a regency in Jambi Province which has a wide forest area of 628,003 Ha. However, this forest area has been reduced due to the conversion of functions of Industrial Plantation Forests (HTI), oil palm plantations, and forest clearing activities for both settlements and plantations which led to the phenomenon of forest and land fires (karhutla). This study aims to get a better knowledge of crowns of fire potential locations in forest areas using remote sensing technology. Remote sensing data used in this study is from the satellite imagery </em><em>of </em><em>Landsat 8 OLI - TIRS in 2019. Remote sensing data is used to produce a Forest Canopy Density (FCD) model that can be overlap</em><em>ped with</em><em> a hotspot location, so the crown fire potential locations will be explored in the forest area of Tebo Regency, Jambi Province. Identification of hotspot patterns in Forest Areas was analyzed using spatial analysis. The results of this study are useful for the government as the information of the hotspot area as the cause of fires in the Forest Region of Tebo Regency Jambi Province.</em></p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Spatial Analysis, Forest Cover Density (FCD), Hotspots, Forest Areas, Remote Sensing</em>

Mapping the above-ground carbon potential by using a non-destructive method has been a serious challenge for researchers in the effort to improve the performance of natural forest management in Indonesia, particularly in the ex-Mega Rice Project (MRP) area in Central Kalimantan Province. Nevertheless, the rapid and dynamic changes in secondary peat swamp forests are currently mapped effectively with the remote sensing technology using the Forest Canopy Density (FCD) model. FCD analysis as done by integrating vegetation index, soil index, temperature index and shadow index of Landsat 8 OLI images. The result was an FCD class map. In each class, parameter measurements were established for seedling, sapling, poles and tree stages. Above-ground carbon stock was calculated using three allometric equations. The results revealed that the values of carbon stock in ±16,147.26 ha dense secondary peat swamp forest, ±1,509.66 ha moderately dense scrub swamp forest, and ±632.07 ha sparse scrub swamp forest were, respectively, 79.28-122.96; 74.06-113.06; and 40.48-63.60 ton/ha. These results show that FCD application could be used to classify forest density effectively and in line with the variety of their attributes such us aboveground biomass and carbon stock potential.

Penginderaan jauh memiliki keunggulan dalam hal resolusi temporal yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk meneliti perubahan suatu obyek dalam waktu yang berbeda. Hutan Gunung Kelud mengalami perubahan setelah erupsi tahun 2014. Perubahan tersebut dapat dianalisis dengan memanfaatkan teknologi penginderaan jauh melalui citra multitemporal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kemampuan citra Landsat 8 multitemporal dan Forest Canopy Density (FCD) untuk perubahan kerapatan kanopi di Hutan Lindung Gunung Kelud sebelum dan sesudah erupsi tahun 2014.Citra penginderaan jauh yang digunakan adalah citra Landsat 8 perekaman 26 Juni 2013 dan 4 September 2015. Metode yang digunakan adalah pemodelan FCD yang menghasilkan kerapatan kanopi per piksel. Hasil pemodelan FCD kemudian digunakan untuk menganalisis perubahan kerapatan kanopi setelah erupsi. Berdasarkan penelitan ini didapatkan hasil bahwa citra Landsat 8 dapat dipergunakan untuk mengetahui kerapatan kanopi Hutan Lindung Gunung Kelud sebelum dan setelah erupsi dengan masing-masing akurasi sebesar 83,73% dan 81,14%. Terjadi perubahan luas kerapatan kanopi setelah erupsi, dimana terdapat 8833,95 Ha hutan yang mengalami penurunan kerapatan kanopi, sedangkan hutan dengan kerapatan kanopi yang tetap adalah seluas 2149,38 Ha, dan hutan yang mengalami peningkatan kerapatan kanopi adalah seluas 1643,31 Ha. Remote sensing has an advantage in terms of temporal resolution that can be exploited to examine the changes of an object in different times. Gunung Kelud Forest is changing after the eruption in 2014. The changes can be analyzed by utilizing remote sensing technology through multitemporal imagery. This study aims to examine the capabilities of Landsat 8 multitemporal and Forest Canopy Density (FCD) images for changes in canopy density in Kelud Protection Forest before and after the eruption in 2014. Remote sensing imagery used is Landsat 8 image recording June 26, 2013, and September 4, 2015, The method used is FCD modeling that produces a density of the canopy per pixel. FCD modeling results are then used to analyze changes in density of the canopy after the eruption. Based on this research, it can be concluded that Landsat 8 image can be used to determine the density of canopy of Kelud Protection Forest before and after eruption with 83.73% and 81.14% accuracy respectively. There was a change in the area of the canopy density after the eruption, where there was 8833.95 ha of forest that experienced a decrease in canopy density, whereas forests with fixed canopy densities were 2149.38 Ha, and forests with an increase in canopy density were 1643.31 Ha.

Abstract. Forest canopy density (FCD) of seventeen protected areas of the Caspian Hyrcanian mixed forest are studied here. A modified version of FCD mapper based on spectral band fusion and customized threshold calibration that is optimized for Hyrcanian forests is used for this purpose. In this project, the results of applying the FCD model on three time series of satellite images have been analysed. This classification is based on the FAO standard and consist of four categories such as no-forest, thin, semi-dense and dense. These images, taken with TM and ETM sensors, belong to three-time series between 1987 and 2002. The results of this study indicate that the rate of growth or destruction of forests has been investigated in the regions. Then, using tables and diagrams of variations, the rate of growth or destruction of forest lands in the corresponding period in each class is determined. The FCD model has the ability to study the canopy loading classes in the annual time series.
