Abstract :
The present study aims to evaluate the relevance of Tandem ERS-1/2 coherence values for monitoring temporal and structural changes in a mixed temperate forest ecosystem. The analysis of the decorrelation factors show very interesting results we attempt to understand thanks to a coherent model
