Factors Affecting L-Band Alos Palsar Backscatter on Tropical Forest Biomass
Published In: GJSFR Part: D: Agriculture & Veterinary Volume: 14 Issue: 3
Aboveground biomass (AGB) is one of the key parameters for carbon accounting in a forest area. However, estimating this parameter by using remote sensing approach has been challenging as the interpretation of remotely sensed has been challenging as the interpretation of remotely sensed complex tropical forest ecosystem. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensor system has its potential in ob...
