This study suggested a process for up-scaling spatial distribution map of carbon storage in Pinus densiflora stands from plot to landscape level in Korea. Carbon storage in forest stands was divided into vegetation carbon storage (VCS) and soil carbon storage (SCS).

Through plot based experiment, it was proven that the VCS has close relationship with tree size and the SCS with tree age and stand density. Using these relationships of plot level experiment, estimation functions of VCS were derived with influencing factors of DBH (diameter of breast height).

Current carbon storage distribution of Pinus densiflora stands in landscape and regional level could be estimated from spatial distribution map of Pinus densiflora stands which was prepared using high resolution satellite imagery of Quickbird.
