| Abstract | Combining forest inventory plot and Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data has been widely used for mapping forest carbon. However, uncertainty analysis is a great challenge. This study investigated the uncertainties of mapping and scaling up aboveground forest carbon (AGFC) due to plot location errors in Wu-Yuan of East China. Plot location errors were simulated by randomly perturbing the location of each plot with eleven different distances that varied from 5 to 8000 m. Given a perturbed distance (PD) such as 100 m, a forest carbon map was created by combining and scaling up the plot and TM data from a spatial resolution of 28.5 m × 28.5 m to 969 m × 969 m using a sequential Gaussian block cosimulation algorithm. The maps obtained from the perturbed plot locations were compared with that from the true plot locations. The results showed that, as the plot location PD increased, the accuracy of predicted AGFC values decreased, but their spatial patterns (clustering of high and low values) remained until the PD of 800 m, slightly changed at the PD of 1600 m, looked more different at the PDs of 3000 and 5000 m, and became totally random at the PD of 8000 m. More importantly, it was found that scaling up the spatial data mitigated the impacts of plot location errors on the map accuracy compared to those without the up-scaling. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
