Abstract
Greenhouse gas emissions from forest environments play a crucial role in global climate dynamics. Forests, as significant carbon sinks, are vital in regulating atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). However, changes in forest health, land use, and climate conditions can alter their capacity to store carbon and influence emissions. This paper explores the potential of remote sensing technologies for monitoring greenhouse gas emissions in forested ecosystems. Using satellite-based observations and airborne remote sensing platforms, we assess the ability to quantify and track the spatial and temporal patterns of CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions from forest environments. We discuss the advantages of remote sensing for large-scale monitoring, the challenges associated with current methodologies, and the role of integrating remote sensing data with ground-based measurements. Results highlight the effectiveness of using remote sensing data to estimate carbon fluxes and detect emission hotspots. The study concludes that remote sensing offers a powerful tool for monitoring greenhouse gas emissions in forests, providing essential data for climate change mitigation strategies.
