Measurement of Forest Above-Ground Biomass Using Active and Passive Remote Sensing at Large (Subnational to Global) Scales
2015
Current Forestry Reports
Preserved Fulltext
At country to continental scales, remote sensing techniques have been progressively developed to quantify the above-ground biomass (AGB) of these forests, with these based on optical, radar, and/or light ...
Within the global forest area, a diverse range of forest types exist with each supporting varying amounts of biomass and allocations to different plant components. ...
The only method to use globally available remote sensing data was developed by [87] who used passive microwave derived Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD) from the 1990s onwards to retrieve above-ground biomass ...
