Abstract

Forests have important roles in terms of carbon storage and other values. Various studies have been conducted to identify and distinguish the forest from non-forest classes. Several forest types classes such as secondary forests and plantations should be distinguished related to the restoration and rehabilitation program for dealing with climate change. The study was carried out to distinguish several classes of important forests such as the primary dryland forests, secondary dryland forest, and plantation forests using Landsat 8 to develop identification techniques of specific forests classes. The study areas selected were forest areas in three districts, namely Karo, Dairi, and Samosir of North Sumatera Province. The results showed that using composite RGB 654 of Landsat 8 imagery based on test results OIF for the forest classification, the forests could be distinguished with other land covers. Digital classification can be combined with the visual classification known as a hybrid classification method, especially if there are difficulties in border demarcation between the two types of forest classes or two classes of land covers.

Abstract

Lake Singkarak in west Sumatera is currently in very poor condition and become one of the priorities in the government lake rescue program. High sedimentation rate from soil erosion has caused siltation, decreasing of quality and quantity of lake water. Monitoring of the environment quality changes of the lake and its surrounding are required. This study used Landsat and SPOT satellite data in periods of 2000-2011 to evaluate environmental quality parameters of the lake such as land cover, lake water quality (total suspended solid), water run-off, and water discharge in Singkarak lake catchment area. Maximum likelihood classifier was used to obtain land cover. Total suspended solid was extracted using Doxaran algorithm. The look up table and rational method were used to estimate run-off and water discharge. The results showed that the decreasing of forest area and the increasing of settlement were consistent with the increasing of average run-off and water discharge in Paninggahan and Sumpur sub-catchment area. The results were also consistent with the increasing of TSS in Singkarak lake, where TSS increased from around 2-3 mg/l up to 5-6 mg/l in the periods of 2000-2011.
