dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The present investigation entitled, “Appraisal of land use change and forest carbon stock using Remote Sensing technique” were carried out in Nauni campus of Dr .Y.S. Parmar University, Nauni, Solan located at 300 51’ N and 760 11’ E with an altitude of 1250m above mean sea level in Himachal Pradesh to study land use change from 1998 to 2008, carbon sequestration potential of plantation species planted between 1985 to 1990 in the university campus. An attempt to assess the carbon stock distribution in various forest vegetation types in the campus through IRS (LISS III) was also tried. The area was classified into main six land use categories such as Culturable, Unculturable, Ban oak, Broadleaved, Chirpine and Habitation with overall classification accuracy of 65 and 71 % for 1998 and 2008, respectively. The area under Culturable, Banoak and Habitation has been found to increase by 183.33 %, 440 % and 215 %, respectively from 1998 to 2008 whereas Unculturable, Broadleaved and Chirpine categories reported decrease in area by 25.29 %, 16.51 % and 7.41 %, respectively from 1998 to 2008. Mean Annual Increment was reported maximum in Acrocarpus fraxinifolius (0.028 m3) followed by Eucalyptus terreticornis (0.026 m3), Populus deltoides (0.021 m3), Pinus roxburghii (0.020 m3), Salix alba (0.019 m3), Albizzia lebbek (0.008 m3) and Ulmus laevigata (0.008 m3) and Melia composita (0.008 m3), Grewia optiva (0.007 m3) and Acacia mollissima (0.007 m3), Quercus leucotrichophora (0.006 m3), Acacia catechu (0.003 m3) and Punica granatum (0.0003 m3). Among tree species carbon storage potential was in descending order as Acrocarpus fraxinifolius > Eucalyptus terreticornis > Melia composita> Pinus roxburghii >Populus deltoides >Ulmus laevigata > Salix alba > Albizzia lebbeck >Quercus leucotrichophora > Acacia mollissima > Grewia optiva >Acacia catechu >Punica granatum. IRS (LISS III) data failed to quantify the carbon stock of forest vegetation in the University campus.en_US
