A study of the relationship between radar backscatter and regenerating tropical forest biomass for spaceborne SAR instruments.
267
TL;DR: The relationship between mean backscattering coefficient, as measured by spaeebome SAR instruments, and the areal density of above-ground biomass in regenerating tropical forest was investigated for a study area in the central Amazon basin this article.

- 22 Jul 2018
TL;DR: In this article, the estimation of forest above ground biomass derived from a combination of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data using the Random Forest Regression approach was conducted over a temperate forest in Poland, where the forest biomass is ranging from 1 to 300 t/ha.
Forest and land use mitigation and adaptation in Sri Lanka – Aspects in the light of international climate change policies
Eskil Mattsson
- 05 Mar 2012
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the environmental status and participatory views and aspirations on land use and forest cover change; estimate structural characteristics and above ground biomass carbon stocks for various forest ecosystems and land uses; and estimate a historical reference level to estimate the costs and earnings for implementation of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in Sri Lanka.
Sensitivity of Multi-Source SAR Backscatter to Changes in Forest Aboveground Biomass
TL;DR: In this article, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to investigate the influence of incidence angle and soil moisture on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) backscatter, and the feasibility of cross-image normalization between multi-temporal and multi-sensor SAR data.
Modelling above ground biomass of Indian mangrove forest using dual-pol SAR data
TL;DR: In this paper, the most suitable allometric model is then used to develop a novel methodology to estimate AGB using dual-pol Sentinel-1A Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data.
Monitoring secondary tropical forests using space-borne data: implications for Central America
TL;DR: In this article, the potential for overcoming these limitations is reviewed, including the synergy of radar and optical imagery and the unprecedented spatial and spectral resolutions of new sensors, and they conclude that critical issues in this region will be...

Tropical secondary forests
Sandra Brown,Ariel E. Lugo +1 more
TL;DR: The literature on tropical secondary forests, defined as those resulting from human disturbance (e.g., logged forests and forest fallows), is reviewed to address questions related to their extent, rates of formation, ecological characteristics, values and uses to humans, and potential for management as discussed by the authors.

Abandoned pastures in eastern Amazonia. I. Patterns of plant succession
TL;DR: These Amazon ecosystems generally can recover after large-scale pasture disturbances and only where land has been used too intensively for long periods is reforestation uncertain, but probably less than 10% of the pasture land in northern Para has degraded to this level.
