One-third of Germany's land surface area is covered by forest (around 11.4 million hectares),
and thus, it characterizes the landscape. The forest is a habitat for a large number of animal …

Optical remote sensing can effectively capture 2-dimensional (2D) forest information, such
as woodland area and percentage forest cover. However, accurately estimating forest …

Synthetic aperture radar tomography (TomoSAR) is an extension of synthetic aperture radar
(SAR) imaging. It introduces the synthetic aperture principle into the elevation direction to …

Forests play a crucial role in quantifying global carbon storage and detecting climate change
in the form of aboveground biomass (AGB), which introduces an approach to study carbon …

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) measurements are unique for mapping forest 3D structure
and its changes in time. Tomographic SAR (TomoSAR) configurations exploit this potential …

In recent decades, climatic pressures have altered the forested landscape of Bavaria.
Widespread loss of trees has unevenly impacted the entire state, of which 37% is covered by …

A rigorous TomoSAR imaging procedure is proposed to acquire high-resolution L-band
images of a forest in a local area of interest. A focusing function is derived to relate the …

The underlying topography and forest height play an indispensable role in many fields,
including geomorphology, civil engineering construction, forest investigation, and the …

Monitoring forest conditions is an essential task in the context of global climate change to
preserve biodiversity, protect carbon sinks and foster future forest resilience. Severe impacts …

The underlying topography is an important part of the three-dimensional structure of forests,
and is used for a variety of applications, such as hydrology and water resource …
