Estimating urban above ground biomass with multi-scale LiDAR [PDF]

Carbon Balance and Management, 2018
Background Urban trees have long been valued for providing ecosystem services (mitigation of the “heat island” effect, suppression of air pollution, etc.); more recently the potential of urban forests to store significant above ground biomass (AGB) has ...

Remote Sensing of Above Ground Biomass [PDF]

, 2019
Above ground biomass has been listed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as one of the five most prominent, visible, and dynamic terrestrial carbon pools. The increased awareness of the impacts of climate change has seen a burgeoning need to consistently assess carbon stocks to combat carbon sequestration.

Interferometric Ground Cancellation for Above Ground Biomass Estimation

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2020
A new processing technique, i.e., ground cancellation, which removes the ground signal from a pair of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, is used to emphasize the response from above-ground targets. This technique is of particular interest when studying forest canopies using low-frequency signals able to reach the underlying ground ...
