Relating forest biomass to SAR data

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 1992
The authors present the results of an experiment defined to demonstrate the use of radar to retrieve forest biomass. The SAR data were acquired by the NASA/JPL SAR over the Landes pine forest during the 1989 MAESTRO-1 campaign. The SAR data, after calibration, were analyzed together with ground data collected on forest stands from a young stage (eight ...

Forest Robot and Datasets for Biomass Collection

2019
Portugal has witnessed some of its largest wildfires in the last decade, due to the lack of forestry management and valuation strategies. A cost-effective biomass collection tool/approach can increase the forest valuing, being a tool to reduce fire risk in the forest.

FOREST BIOMASS OF CHINA: AN ESTIMATE BASED ON THE BIOMASS–VOLUME RELATIONSHIP

Ecological Applications, 1998
In this study, a method was developed to estimate the forest biomass of China based on the relationship between stand biomass and volume. Biomass-volume relationships were quantified for all the main forest types in China using 758 sets of data obtained from direct field measurements.

Assessment of tropical forest biomass: A challenging objective for the biomass mission

2012 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2012
In terms of biomass information, the most critical forest regions of the Earth are in the tropical belt, where knowledge on biomass and biomass changes is poor and where biomass information is the most needed, for carbon flux calculations and for national scale inventory.

Forest biomass

1980
The development of studies on the biomass of trees and forest stands is traced from the early 20th century to the present day, and recent symposia and bibliographic treatments are collated and reviewed. Methods of measurement of biomass and biomass production, as applied to the different components of trees and to whole stands, are considered and ...

Forest Biomass as an Energy Resource

Biomass is a highly versatile and reliable source of firm, renewable energy, capable of generating heat, power and various biofuels. The technologies used to convert biomass into fuels or energy can be broadly divided into two categories: biochemical and thermochemical.

Forest biomass estimation at regional and global levels, with special reference to China's forest biomass

Ecological Research, 2001
Accurate estimation of forest biomass size and regional distribution is a prerequisite in answering a long‐standing debate on the role of forest vegetation in the regional and global carbon cycle. Appropriate biomass estimation methods and available forest data sources are two key factors for this purpose.

Sources and Distribution of Forest Biomass for Energy

Forest biomass used for energy or fuels can be sourced directly from land-use systems, indirectly from wood-based industries or recovered from other human activities outside the forest sector. The former, referring to primary biomass from forests, includes organic products or residues derived directly from living or recently dead trees or other forest ...
