Assimilating satellite-based canopy height within an ecosystem model to estimate aboveground forest biomass

Assimilating satellite-based canopy height within an ecosystem model to estimate aboveground forest biomass

Despite advances in Earth observation and modeling, estimating tropical biomass remains a challenge. Recent work suggests that integrating satellite measurements of canopy height within ecosystem models is a promising approach to infer biomass. We tested the feasibility of this approach to retrieve...
