Mapping boreal forest biomass with imagery from polarimetric and semi-polarimetric SAR sensors / Mapeamento da biomassa fl orestal boreal com imagens dos sensores SAR polarimétricos e semi-polarimétricos

Data from ALOS/Palsar and TerraSAR-X were used to estimate forest biomass in Boreal forest zone in Finland. In the study site in Heinavesi (forest biomass between 0 and 255 tons/ha), the HH-polarised componentof dual-polarised ALOS/Palsar produced biomass estimation accuracies (RMSE) between 35 and...
