Estimation of AGB and carbon of tropical forests has been a crucial factor to ‘Reduction of carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation-plus’, a monetary mechanism for combating global warming. We examined the use of IKONOS 2 data for estimating aboveground biomass of a tropical forest in Long Mio, Sabah, Malaysia. The IKONOS 2 data was corrected for path radiance and topographic effect before segmentation using the watershed method in ArcGIS. Correlation analyses between the segment variables and forest variables revealed that crown area extracted from the IKONOS 2 data (CAs ) had the strongest correlation with the field-measured diameter at breast height (DBHf). Linear regression analysis produced a model to estimate DBHf using CAs with R2 of 0.71. Cross-validation using the remaining half of the data set also showed very consistent result. The CAs only represented upper canopy trees but estimated about 80% of the above ground biomass.
