全球暖化與氣候變遷已加劇海平面上升、極端氣候及沿海生態系統所承受之環境壓力,使自然生態系統在氣候減緩與調適中的功能日益受到重視。紅樹林具有高碳儲存能力,能將大量碳儲存於植被與土壤中,同時具有海岸保護、生物多樣性維持及環境調節等多重生態系服務,因此被視為重要的濱海藍碳生態系與自然為本解決方案。紅樹林的保育與長期監測亦與聯合國永續發展目標密切相關,包括 SDG 13「氣候行動」所強調之氣候變遷減緩與調適、SDG 14「保育及永續利用海洋生態系」及 SDG 15「陸域生態」之濕地與生態系保育,並可作為 SDG 6.6.1 水相關生態系面積變化監測的重要對象。因此,掌握紅樹林長期分布變遷及其碳存量,不僅有助於理解沿海生態系對氣候變遷的回應,亦是評估藍碳資源及支持永續海岸管理的重要基礎。
然而,在區域尺度的紅樹林碳存量評估中,常以紅樹林分布面積結合單位面積碳密度進行推估。既有藍碳研究多著重於提升植被生物量、地下部碳庫及土壤碳密度參數之精度,相較之下,遙測判釋所造成的紅樹林面積不確定性及其如何傳遞至碳存量估算,受到的關注相對有限。實際上,在「面積 × 碳密度」的估算架構下,分布面積與碳密度皆會直接影響最終碳存量。尤其臺灣西部紅樹林多呈狹長、破碎且受潮汐、泥灘地、淺水及周邊植被干擾的空間型態,使長期衛星影像判釋容易產生混合像元與邊界誤差。因此,若未充分評估面積判釋的不確定性,即使碳密度參數具有高度精度,最終碳存量仍可能產生系統性偏差。
本研究利用 Google Earth Engine 處理 Landsat 5、7、8 與 9 地表反射率影像,重建 1990 至 2025 年臺灣西部 12 處樣區之逐年紅樹林分布,並評估判釋誤差對面積型碳存量估算之影響。各年度影像以移動時間窗進行中位數合成,採一致之 Normalized Mangrove Vegetation Index(MVIn)固定閾值,搭配地形限制與最小圖斑篩選,以維持長時序比較之一致性;序列末端年份因時間窗不完整,視為推估結果。結果顯示,臺灣西部紅樹林自 1990 年代以來整體呈擴張趨勢,但近年部分地區出現下降,且各樣區變遷幅度與時間並不一致。固定閾值可掌握整體長期趨勢,但判釋表現具有區域差異。敏感度分析亦顯示,空間精度與面積偏差未必同步,參數調整可能明顯影響判釋面積及碳存量估算。因此,長期紅樹林藍碳監測除碳密度不確定性外,亦應考量分布判釋誤差及其對碳存量估算之傳遞效應。
Global warming and climate change have intensified sea-level rise, extreme weather events, and environmental pressures on coastal ecosystems, increasing recognition of the role of natural ecosystems in climate change mitigation and adaptation. Mangrove forests have a high capacity for carbon storage, sequestering substantial amounts of carbon in both vegetation and soils while providing multiple ecosystem services, including coastal protection, biodiversity conservation, and environmental regulation. They are therefore regarded as important coastal blue carbon ecosystems and nature-based solutions. Mangrove conservation and long-term monitoring are also closely related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 13 (Climate Action), which emphasizes climate change mitigation and adaptation; SDG 14 (Life Below Water); and SDG 15 (Life on Land), which addresses wetland and ecosystem conservation. Mangroves can also serve as an important target for monitoring changes in the extent of water-related ecosystems under SDG Indicator 6.6.1. Understanding long-term changes in mangrove distribution and carbon stocks is therefore essential not only for evaluating the responses of coastal ecosystems to climate change, but also for assessing blue carbon resources and supporting sustainable coastal management.
However, regional-scale assessments of mangrove carbon stocks commonly estimate total carbon storage by combining mapped mangrove area with carbon density per unit area. Previous blue carbon studies have largely focused on improving the accuracy of carbon-density parameters, including aboveground biomass, belowground carbon pools, and soil carbon density. In comparison, uncertainties in mangrove area derived from remote-sensing classification, and the manner in which these uncertainties propagate into carbon-stock estimates, have received relatively limited attention. Under an ``area $\times$ carbon density'' framework, both mapped area and carbon density directly affect the resulting carbon-stock estimate. This issue is particularly important along the western coast of Taiwan, where mangroves often occur in narrow and fragmented patches and are affected by tides, mudflats, shallow water, and surrounding vegetation. These conditions increase the likelihood of mixed pixels and boundary-related classification errors in long-term satellite observations. Consequently, even when carbon-density parameters are accurately estimated, insufficient consideration of uncertainty in mapped mangrove area may still lead to systematic bias in carbon-stock estimates.
This study used Google Earth Engine to process Landsat 5, 7, 8, and 9 surface reflectance imagery and reconstruct annual mangrove distributions from 1990 to 2025 across 12 study sites along the western coast of Taiwan. Classification errors and their effects on area-based carbon-stock estimates were further evaluated. Annual imagery was composited using a moving temporal window and pixel-wise median values. A fixed threshold of the Normalized Mangrove Vegetation Index (MVIn), consistently applied across all years and study sites, was combined with topographic constraints and minimum-patch filtering to maintain methodological consistency throughout the long-term time series. Because complete temporal windows were unavailable for the final years of the series, estimates for these years were treated as provisional. The results indicate that mangrove area along the western coast of Taiwan has generally expanded since the 1990s, although declines have occurred in several areas in recent years. The direction, magnitude, and timing of peak mangrove extent varied among study sites, indicating that regional-scale trends represent the combined effects of localized expansion and contraction. Accuracy and sensitivity analyses showed that the fixed-threshold approach was capable of capturing the overall long-term trend, but classification performance varied spatially, indicating limited transferability of a single classification rule across different regions. In addition, spatial overlap accuracy and total-area bias did not necessarily change in parallel. Some parameter adjustments produced only minor differences in spatial accuracy while substantially altering the estimated mangrove area, thereby affecting carbon-stock estimates.
This study demonstrates that, in addition to uncertainty in carbon density, classification errors in mapped mangrove area represent an important source of uncertainty in blue carbon assessments. Long-term mangrove blue carbon monitoring should therefore consider spatial classification accuracy, area bias, and the propagation of these uncertainties into carbon-stock estimates simultaneously.
