Comparing NDVI and Corine Land Cover as Tools for Improving National Forest Inventory Updates and Preventing Illegal Logging in Serbia
Апстракт
National forest inventories (NFIs) in Serbia have been carried out very rarely (every 20
years), while the last two official estimates of forest areas (for 2011 and 2014) are very
imprecise, because they are based on the cadastral data (and Serbia is well known for the
lack of cadastre updating). Although forest conservation policymakers in Serbia still have
limited financial, human, and political resources, over the past two decades, publicly
available, remotely sensed satellite data on deforestation and degradation have dramatically
reduced
evaluation
costs.
Since
municipalities
in
Southern
Serbia
experienced
a
15%
loss
of
forest
area
in
the
2006–2014
period,
as
the
obvious
result
of
forceful,
rapid
process
of
illegal
logging,
this
study
evaluates
the
possible
use
of
two
remote
sensing
techniques:
normalized
difference
vegetation
index
(NDVI)
and
CORINE
land
cover
(CLC)
databases
for
preventing
illegal
logging
in
...Serbia.
It
clearly
shows
that
NDVI
is
very
promising
for
Serbia
and
also
for
other
post-socialist
countries
that
very
rarely
carry
out
national
forest
inventories
(NFIs), and where unrecorded, illegal logging can exceed the legal harvest
by a factor of 10.
