RECENT APPROACHES IN ABOVE GROUND BIOMASS ESTIMATION METHODS
Abstract :
Numerous methods can be used for above ground biomass estimation. In this study, these methods were assessed and the use of remote sensing emphasized as an alternative to available classical methods. The remote sensing methods that use passive optical, radar and lidar systems, lets biomass to be estimated for large areas with minimum field work. The literature review has demonstrated the benefits of remote sensing for biomass estimation along with indicating topographic conditions, biophysical properties and environmental conditions may cause complexity.
