Abstract
This paper gives an overview of our work conducted since 1993 and based on the analysis of AIRSAR data over a variety of mangrove forests. The effects of canopy structure on the polarimetric radar response of mangrove forests are analyzed from both an experimental and a theoretical point of view. Particularly, two mangrove stands of equal biomass but with great differences in their structural characteristics are also studied. Quantitative estimation of mangrove parameters is then discussed
