摘要

Earth’s surface is crucial for providing habitats to living things. Within the surface of this planet, the terrestrial area is one of the most important habitats that provide places, materials, and cultures. However, recent ecosystems have been threatened by disturbances such as climate change, pollution, and failure of governance. Conservation of the terrestrial ecosystem, for example, forest, wetlands, mountainous area, drylands, and biodiversity, is intensively stated to achieve Sustainable Development Goal No. 15. Since the contemporary way of natural management has shown a lot of harmful consequences, the terrestrial ecosystem should be recovered and conserved in various perspectives. Most of all, the carbon cycle is a keyword to focus regarding the terrestrial environmental development through appropriate management. In this chapter, functions of the terrestrial ecosystem, methodologies of observation, and examples of management are introduced. Above all, vegetation in the terrestrial ecosystem can contribute through carbon sequestration, which is a representative carbon dioxide removal system on Earth’s surface. Another function of the terrestrial ecosystem on carbon cycle is in the soil organic matter cycle including decomposition of organic matter. Secondly, there are various scales of observation methods, from in situ measurement like flux tower observation to satellite-based remotely sensed imageries which can be used nowadays. The details about carbon cycle observation methods were investigated in this chapter, including several national and international satellite mission and campaign lists. Possibility of application of those data to some conservation activities was also analyzed. Finally, reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries plus (REDD+) was intensively discussed as an example of management. Carbon credit, certification systems, and joint crediting trading mechanism of carbon are considered as the most practical way to promote reducing carbon emissions. Those perspectives enable discussions on the feasibility of applying satellite-based carbon cycle research globally to propose sustainable development policies, ultimately in a fair manner for both developed and developing countries.
