Abstract
L-band HV multiple-incidence-angle aircraft synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data were analyzed in relation to average stand biomass, basal area, and tree height for 55 slash pine plantations located in northern Florida. This information was used to develop a system of equations to predict average stand biomass as a function of L-band (24.5-cm) radar backscatter. The system of equations developed in this study using three-stage least-squares and combinatorial screening accounted for 97% of the variability observed in average stand biomass per hectare. When applied to an independent data set, the biomass equations had an average bias of less than 1% with a standard error of approximately 3%. >
