Abstract
Forest biomass is one of the most important and most unknown parameters for accurate global carbon stock modelling. In this paper we address an alternative methodology for estimating above ground forest biomass from radar remote sensing data, based on forest height estimates from single frequency polarimetric-interferometric SAR data.
