Abstract

The paper considers the site of the Far Eastern Carbon Landfill (FECL), located on the shore of the Bukh River. Ajax is located in the Sea of Japan in the temperate monsoon climate zone. The main feature of the FECL is its seaside location, which allows for a comprehensive study of coastal and marine ecosystems. The site consists of 20 ha of marine water area and 4 ha of land area on the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) in Vladivostok and is part of a larger landfill in Primorsky Krai with an area of 304.23 ha. The paper presents the results of a study of the coastal zone of the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) Vladivostok campus. The possibilities of using remote sensing of the earth (remote sensing) in the framework of work to assess the sequestration potential of coastal marine ecosystems—their ability to absorb and retain carbon. The experience of combining ground-based laser scanning and aerial photography with a multispectral camera is presented, which significantly expands the possibilities of assessing ground objects. Based on the results of the survey from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and the addition of ground-based laser scanning data, the site’s territory is classified by type of land use and types of facilities. Digital models of terrain and relief, orthophotoplans, including the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) vegetation index, have been obtained. A quantitative assessment of trees, shrubs, grass, and buildings was performed based on a combined point cloud and raster files. Tree heights relative to open databases have been clarified. Preliminary calculations of the content of aboveground biomass and carbon reserves have been performed. A detailed cartographic framework has been created, which will be used for further work with the spatial data of the carbon polygon.
