Abstract

To evaluate the potential of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for retrieving the Above Ground Biomass (AGB) of Australian woodlands, preliminary relationships were established between the biomass (scaled-up from field measurements using laser scanner) of different communities (distinguished using Large Scale Photography) and AIRSAR (POLSAR) data acquired over a 40 x 60 km woodland area near Injune, central Queensland, during PACRIM II. Preliminary analysis suggest that AGB could be retrieved using SAR, with Lband VV data being the most suitable if regression
analyses are used.
