Forest structure dependency analysis of L-band SAR backscatter [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Forest structure plays an important role in forest biomass inversion using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscatter. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors with long-wavelength have the potentiality to provide reliable and timely forest biomass ...

Isprs Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2021 Forest height is an important forest biophysical parameter which is used to derive important information about forest ecosystems, such as forest above ground biomass. In this paper, the potential of combining Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR)

Remote Sensing, 2020 Canopy height serves as a good indicator of forest carbon content. Remote sensing-based direct estimations of canopy height are usually based on Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) or Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometric data.

New global map of forest canopy height [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2012 Just how tall are forests around the world? A new global map shows forest canopy height at 1‐kilometer spatial resolution. Simard et al. used satellite data from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System aboard the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) to create a global map of the height of the forest canopy.

Forest drought resistance distinguished by canopy height
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 How are the survival and growth of trees under severe drought affected by their size? While some studies have shown that large trees are more vulnerable to drought than smaller trees, others found that small trees are the more vulnerable. We explored the potential relationships between canopy height and forest responses to drought indicated by tree ...
