Abstract Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Phased Arrayed L-band Synthetic
Aperture Radar (PALSAR) HH and HV polarization data were used previously to produce …

Forests and their changes are important to the regional and global carbon cycle, biodiversity
and ecosystem services. Some uncertainty about forest cover area in China calls for an …

Four global mosaics of Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Phased Arrayed L-band
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) HH and HV polarization data were generated at 25 m …

South America has the largest tropical rainforests and the richest biodiversity in the world. It
is challenging to map tropical forests and their spatio-temporal changes because forests are …

Knowledge of the spatial distribution of forest types in tropical regions is important for
implementation of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) …

Accurately mapping the spatial distribution of forests in sub-humid to semi-arid regions over
time is important for forest management but a challenging task. Relatively large uncertainties …

Monitoring the temporal changes of forests is important for sustainable forest management.
In this study, we investigated the potential of using multi-temporal synthetic aperture radar …

Many forest cover maps have been generated by using optical and/or microwave images,
but these forest cover maps have large area and spatial discrepancies. To date, few studies …

Forest mapping from satellite sensor imagery provides important information for the timely
monitoring of forest growth and deforestation, bioenergy potential assessment, and …

Accurate acquisition of spatial distribution of afforestation in a large area is of great
significance to contributing to the sustainable utilization of forest resources and the …
