Reclamation is regarded as one of the mining processes that can lessen the environmental impact of its production, particularly for large-scale coal mines that emit significant quantities of greenhouse gases. However, the assessment and evaluation of the reclamation process primarily rely on qualitative methods. Utilizing LANSAT8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) remote sensing in conjunction with GIS, this study aimed to develop a quantitative method for validating the efficacy of a reclamation procedure applicable to the emerging trend of carbon reduction. The empirical formula utilized to compute the annual carbon sequestrations of the reclamation area in the Mae Moh mine exhibited the appropriate spatial relative standard deviation (S-RSD) at 98.25%. The findings indicate that the reclamation area reached its highest level of carbon sequestration in 2022, at 331.28 ± 11.89 ktCO<sub<2</sub<e, surpassing the baseline of 126.53 ktCO<sub<2</sub<e. Furthermore, the approach demonstrates significant potential in improving the standard method for assessing reclamation through reforestation. Ausführliche Beschreibung
