Abstract :
The analysis of SAR data, collected over the Montespertoli site during the Multisensor Airborne Campaign (MAC-91) has shown that the backscattering from the vineyards has a large variability and appears relatively independent of the crop biomass. σ0 is well correlated to the angle between rows of vines and the observation direction and appears strongly influenced by the frame which supports the plants
