Tropical Forest Biomass Mapping from Dual Frequency Sar Interferometry (x and P- Bands)
Radar sensors operating with different wavelengths and polarizations have been widely used for large-scale forest mapping and monitoring. The interferometric phase obtained by microwave sensors contains additional information on the three-dimensional structure of the scattering targets in the image. An experiment was performed in the Brazilian Amazon (Tapajós National Forest and surroundings) t...
متن کاملThe tropical rain forest: a nonrenewable resource.
On the other hand, it has often been stated that the tropical rain forests (tall evergreen forests in tropical warm and humid regions) around the world must be protected and conserved for the future generations (1). It has also been stated that it is most important that knowledge about the structure, diversity, and function of these ecosystems has priority in future biological research (2). Unf...
متن کاملObservation of tropical rain forest trees by airborne high-resolution interferometric radar
1 Proc. INDREX Final results workshop, ESTEC 9 Nov. 1999 & Jakarta 30 Nov. 1999: ESA SP-489, Nov. 2000, p 47-56 Abstract The INDREX campaign was executed in Indonesia to study the potential of high-resolution interferometric airborne radar in support of sustainable tropical forest management. Severe cloud cover limits the use of aerial photography which is currently applied on a routine basis t...
متن کاملThe ecology of tropical rain forest canopies.
With the advent of increasingly sophisticated techniques for access, tropical forest canopy research has burgeoned in the last few years. Although an enormous amount of basic descriptive work remains to be done, canopy research is now entering a more advanced and ecological phase.
متن کاملEstimation and Monitoring of Tropical Forest Biomass Using Polarimetric Interferometric SAR Data
The purpose of the proposed work is to examine the feasibility of using Polarimetric Interferometric SAR (PolInSAR) techniques on ALOS PALSAR data to extract forest canopy heights with the ultimate objective of deriving biomass estimates. Previous work [1] has shown that in homogeneous European forest stands, tree height is a reasonably robust estimator of biomass through a simple allometric re...
