ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference in the amount of carbon dioxide adsorption and the value of carbon dioxide adsorption. Using the Forest Carbon Edge Effect model of the InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs) tool. The results showed that the forest in imaginary used to have a carbon dioxide absorption value of up to 205.2 million baht, but now when partially cleared, the value has been lost about 50 million baht, but if it is managed by allowing agriculture in this area, the value will be lost almost 50 million baht or if compared to the imaginary forest. The lost value is almost 100 million baht.
