Message from the Guest Editors
As a vital natural resource, forests are of extreme
importance for all living beings on our planet. We would
like to dedicate this Special Issue to documenting SAR-
based methods for forest mapping on Forest Ecosytem,
forest degradation, forests resources. Well-prepared,
unpublished submissions that address one or more of the
following topics are solicited:
New methods and concepts for the quantitative
assessment of forest biomass;
Combination of complementary SAR imaging
methods (tomography, polarimetry, interferometry)
to define novel approaches, concepts, and
applications for forest mapping and monitoring;
Feasibility studies with new sensors, ranging from
drones to spaceborne SAR systems, and their
applications to forestry;
Combined use of multifrequency SAR imaging for
forest applications;
Comparison and benchmarking studies using
various sensors and/or processing methods for
forestry;
New approaches for the detection of forest
changes;
Potentials of artificial intelligence-based methods
for forest information retrieval;
Novel methodologies considering the fusion of SAR
data with data from other sources.
