SUMMARY  
This study describes how the Inverse Distance Weighted Interpolation (IDW) in combination with the field-  
based survey and 2015 SPOT 6 data are applied to estimate biomass and carbon stocks of Pinus merkusii  
plantation in Dinh Hai commnue, Tinh Gia district, Thanh Hoa province. The construction of current map of  
Pinus merkusii shows that there is 87.0% of accuracy and accuracy asessment of interpolated maps of biomass  
and carbon stocks are over 83.0 %, showing this IWD interpolation is reliable and can be applicable in Dinh  
Hai commune. As a result, the total carbon stocks is estimated at about 1,959,622.4 tons, equivalent to  
221,497,194,300 VND in Dinh Hai. Although having high values and potential for carbon stocks trading, the  
Payments for Forest Environmental Services (PFES) have not been implemented in Tinh Gia district yet. This  
study also has presented solutions for PFES implementation in Tinh Gia, thus enhancing local livelihoods.

of them are necessary in the process of  
emissions and climate change reduction. There  
are 3 main accessing approaches to research on  
biomass and carbon capacity of forests,  
I. INTRODUCTION  
Global warming has become increasingly  
serious and challenging to all nations in the  
Earth. Such high concentration of greenhouse  
gases (mostly CO2) in the atmosphere is  
demonstrated as the main contributor to  
climate change (UNFCCC, 2007). With the  
aim to mitigate climate change, United Nation  
Framework Convention on Climate Change  
(UNFCCC) in 1992 and Kyoto Protocol in  
1997 were ratified. This legal basis is  
significant to prove international community’s  
commitment in reducing greenhouse effects.  
Carbon emission trading is considered as a  
promising option based on evaluating the  
values of forest carbon sink and stocks.  
Transaction of Clean Development Mechanism  
(CDM), especially initiative of Reducing  
Emissions from Deforestation and Forest  
Degradation (REDD and REDD+) on  
voluntary market are now playing a key  
important role on carbon trading in forestry.  
There are various researches on biomass  
and carbon capacity of worldwide forests, both  
namely,  
experimental  
investigation,  
establishment of mathematical models for  
biomass and carbon capacity estimation, which  
are widespreadly utilised. In Vietnam,  
accumulative carbon investigation method is a  
very common application to calculate and  
predict dry biomass amount of forest.  
Dinh Hai is one of 16 communes where is  
located in Tinh Gia district, has fairly large  
area of Pinus merkusii plantation. Up to date,  
there are few studies on constructing biomass  
and mathematical models to estimate biomass  
of forests in Tinh Gia district, Thanh Hoa  
province (Bao Huy, 2014). Therefore, the  
question of how much carbon stocks Pinus  
merkusii can store, remains unanswered. This  
paper intends to provide a scientific basic for  
estimating biomass and carbon stocks of Pinus  
merkusii plantation based on remotely sensed  
data. Findings will be used for the Payments

The total area of Dinh Hai is estimated at about  
2671.4 ha in which 378.2 ha is covered by  
Pinus merkusii. Besides, Dinh Hai is well-  
known as being a home for a variety of  
animals, it is also known as one of the most  
important income sources of local people, by  
providing pine resin, food and regulating water  
resources. Therefore, the study area is  
significantly important for local livelihoods  
and the environment.  
which propose feasible policies on forest  
management and protection, thus improving  
living standard of local people in the study area.  
II. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY  
2.1. Study area  
Dinh Hai commune is geographically  
located in Tinh Gia district, Thanh Hoa  
province, with latitude at 19.494830 and  
longitude at 105.740970 as shown in Fig. 01.

opportunities for PFES implementation. Thirty  
households were randomly selected to collect  
information from diverse groups of local  
authorities, forest management agencies and  
local people in Dinh Hai.  
2.2. Methods  
At first, a face to face interview was carried  
out with managers and local people, then  
secondary data were collected from previous  
articles, reports and official documents to  
investigate the current status and management  
of Pinus merkusii up to 2015. Primary data in  
this study was mainly obtained from semi-  
structured interviews and open questions,  
which were used to identify the challenges and  
In order to satisfy the study objectives, 76  
plots with dimension of 20 m x 25 m  
(equivalent to 500 m2) and the assistance of  
GPS Garmin 650 were set up and randomly  
selected by ArcGIS 10.2 in Dinh Hai. Within

each plot, DBH of each Pinus merkusii tree  
was measured at the breast height. In this  
study, 150 points collected by GPS Garmin  
650 were used for the map classification and  
accuracy assessments. In particular, seventy  
percent of averaged DBH values from 76 plots  
is used for spatial interpolation, while 30% of  
total GPS points and averaged DBH values  
from plots are used for accuracy assessments  
of classified map and interpolation method.  
In addition, 2015 SPOT6 data was used to  
construct current status map of Pinus merkusii  
plantation by ArcGIS 10.2 with an  
Unsupervised Classification method. Classified  
map of Pinus merkusii was then used to  
estimate its biomass and carbon stocks based  
on the field-survey and Inverse Distance  
Weighted interpolation approach (IDW).

IDW method was applied to estimate the  
biomass and the carbon stocks in this study. To  
estimate biomass, the following formula was  
used, which indicates the strong correlation  
between total tree biomass and D1.3 (Vu Tan  
Phuong, 2011):  
Tree biomass = 0.023 * D 1.32.9077 (kg/tree)  
This equation indicates there is a strong  
correlation between tree biomass and D1.3 with  
high value of R2 (R2 = 0.9913). Therefore, this  
formula was used to determine the biomass of  
Pinus merkusii plantation.  
directors who are responsible for directly  
managing all activities according to the tasks  
and all policies assigned by provincial and  
state governments. Under Tinh Gia PFMB,  
there are six local Forest Protection and  
Management Stations (FPMS), which are  
placed at six locations, namely Hai Linh. Hai  
Nhan, Nguyen Binh, Truc Lam, Phu Lam and  
Truong Lam. Surprisingly, Dinh Hai commune  
has not had FPMS yet, but under the  
management of Hai Linh. Not only Dinh Hai  
but also other communes in Tinh Gia have not  
applied PFES yet. Therefore, the question of  
how the PFES is applied, has remained  
unanswered.  
Biomass (ton/ha) is defined by:  
Biomass (ton ha-1) = (Tree biomass * Tree  
density)/10,000  
Where: Tree density is equal to the total  
number of trees in 500 m2.  
Status of Pinus merkusii plantation:  
As a result of Unsupervised Classification  
approach of 2015 SPOT 6, the study has  
constructed the status map of land covers in  
which the spatial distribution and extents of  
Pinus merkusii are classified and calculated at  
378.2 ha (Fig. 02). This finding confirms that  
Dinh Hai is the second largest area within 16  
communes in Tinh Gia district, with 378.2 ha  
of Pinus merkusii that accounts for 17% of  
total Tinh Gia Protection Forest areas.  
Carbon stocks are then calculated according  
to the IPCC coefficients (IPCC, 2007):  
C = 0.5 * Biomass (ton ha-1)

As a result, there were 76 plots selected and  
established randomly, then investigated in  
Dinh Hai commune (Fig. 03). To illustrate the  
topographical distribution of Pinus merkusii,  
DEM was used to classify the various  
elevation values as shown in Figure 03.  
Therefore, it can be easily seen Pinus merkusii  
has geographically distributed at 3 main ranges  
of altitude values, including 30 ÷ 63 m, 63 ÷  
140 m and 140 ÷ 231 m. In addition, pine  
density decreases gradually at the height above  
sea level from 231 ÷ 329 m (Fig. 03) and  
becomes unseen at the higher elevation. They  
mainly distribute in the East, the West, the  
South and the Southeast.

As shown in Table 02, the diameter of  
Pinus merkusii is uneven. Findings have  
shown that there are relatively large  
differences in values of tree diameters due to  
additional plantation. Based on field survey in  
relation to D1.3, the study has summarised the  
Descriptive Statistics of D1.3 in the field. As a  
result, D1.3 has ranged from 15.73 ÷ 29 cm and  
averaged at 23.38 cm in the study area. The  
standard deviation is 2.60 cm, reflecting the  
variance of D1.3, while standard errors is 0.77

from Lam Dong and Lai Chau shoud be learnt  
for Dinh Hai commune. This is because  
maximum benefits from PFES will lead to  
significantly improve the livelihoods of local  
people, thus contributing to better forest  
protection and management. Consequently,  
local people are more likely to be active in  
guarding their assigned forest and more  
responsible for their allocated forest areas.  
Thirdly, the management and administration  
schemes should be set up in a way of  
encouraging local people to protect and  
monitor forest resources by clear guidance of  
social policies and techniques to develop forest  
resources.

in Tinh Gia and Thanh Hoa province  
Based on the findings, it can be said that  
there is an enormous importance of Pinus  
merkusii for implementing PFES policy.  
Therefore,  
solutions  
for  
how  
PFES  
implementation is significant in Dinh Hai,  
Tinh Gia district in particular. Firstly, local  
authorities and local households should be  
encouraged to participate in all REDD+ and  
PFES activities to receive additional financial  
support for better forest protection and  
development. Besides, another important role  
of pine forest as a function of water regulation  
should be included when estimating Pinus  
merkusii values in Thanh Hoa in general and  
Tinh Gia in particular.  
Based on the field measurements, the study  
has estimated the amount of carbon stocks and  
calculated the commercial value of Pinus merkusii  
in Dinh Hai commune as shown in Table 05.  
Secondly, the Payments mechanism for

PFES mechanism also should be applied in  
line with what the forest offers. Carbon stocks  
of Pinus merkusii should be paid as the selling  
price of carbon credits on the market, which is  
now from 5 ÷ 10 USD ton-1 in consultation  
with payments rate implemented in some  
provinces. For example, Lai Chau has paid an  
average price of 342,734 VND ha-1 year-1, an  
average of Lam Dong province is 342,500  
VND ha-1 year-1. In Binh Dinh province, the

management and protection if PFES  
implemented in this area.

cứu là rất lớn so với những điều tra tại các tính khác, khoảng 1,959,622.37 tấn tương ứng với số tiền  
219,957,812,920.65 VND, kết quả này cho thấy tiềm năng phát triển kinh tế cũng như nâng cao đời sống người  
dân địa phương của rừng khi Tinh Gia tham gia vào thị trường cácbon. Bên cạnh những tiềm năng tham gia thị  
trường cácbon, hiện tại PFES chưa được áp dụng tại huyện Tĩnh Gia. Do vậy, việc nghiên cứu nhằm cung cấp  
cơ sở tính toán, đánh giá cụ thể về những tiềm năng trên của cơ chế PFES cho các nhà hoạch định chính sách là  
rất cần thiết để có thể sớm áp dụng PFES tại huyện Tĩnh Gia nói riêng và tỉnh Thanh Hóa nói chung.  
Từ khóa: PFES, rừng phòng hộ Tĩnh Gia, sinh khối, SPOT 6, thị trường Carbon, trữ lượng Carbon.
