Height-diameter allometry of tropical forest trees [PDF]
Tropical tree height-diameter (H:D) relationships may vary by forest type and region making large-scale estimates of above-ground biomass subject to bias if they ignore these differences in stem allometry.

Forest structure dependency analysis of L-band SAR backscatter [PDF]
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 ...

Mapping forest canopy height globally with spaceborne lidar [PDF]
[1] Data from spaceborne light detection and ranging (lidar) opens the possibility to map forest vertical structure globally. We present a wall-to-wall, global map of canopy height at 1-km spatial resolution, using 2005 data from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) aboard ICESat (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite).

New global map of forest canopy height [PDF]
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.

Correcting Underestimation and Overestimation in PolInSAR Forest Canopy Height Estimation Using Microwave Penetration Depth [PDF]
PolInSAR is an active remote sensing technique that is widely used for forest canopy height estimation, with the random volume over ground (RVoG) model being the most classic and effective forest canopy height inversion approach.
