Abstract

The dielectric characteristics of trees are studied for a dielectric permittivity model of a forest stand of L1 band signals of navigation satellites. The contribution of the orientational ordering of tree elements and of the wood anisotropy to the effective wood dielectric permittivity e has been estimated. The crown layer has the height-depend anisotropy ∆e and the orientational ordering of branch tensor elements. The anisotropy gradients in the layer of trunks are determined by the height-dependent wood volume of a single tree and the tree height distribution in a large forest.
