While previous studies have revealed general patterns and mechanisms for age-dependence of stand biomass, simple stand-level models that address the age-biomass relationship on average in managed boreal forests in different environmental conditions are largely missing. We developed models for the relationship between stand age and biomass by forest types on peatlands and mineral soils across climate zones in managed forests in Finland based on National Forest Inventory measurements from 1996 to 2018. In addition, we analyzed at which rate biomass accumulates when managed forest ages in different growth conditions. In northern Finland the maximum biomass change rate was one third, and the maximum biomass stock less than half of the corresponding values in sub-xeric heath forests on minerals soils in southern Finland. On drained peatlands the maximum biomass growth rate was approximately half, and on undrained peatlands one third of the maximum growth rate on mineral soils. On most fertile sites on mineral soils the maximum biomasses were three times larger than on the poorest sites. Correspondingly, the maximum biomass stock change rates were almost eight times faster on most fertile sites. In the example cases presented, the highest annual biomass change rates were achieved in young forests on average at the stand ages of 7–32 years, whereas the 95% of the maximum stock were reached on average in stands of 63–147 years. At the age of highest biomass growth rate stands contained 27–59% of the maximum biomass stocks. The developed models can be used in practical applications such as accounting of biogenic carbon in life-cycle assessments, mapping carbon, or creating simple predictions of biomass stock development in regions, or estimating the mitigation potential of afforestation and reforestation or estimating the magnitude of carbon offsets projects.

Tomographic synthetic aperture radar (TomoSAR), as a three-dimensional imaging technique, has already been successfully used in forest areas to retrieve the forest height. The nonparametric iterative adaptive approach (IAA) has been recently introduced in TomoSAR, achieving a good compromise between high resolution and computing efficiency. However, the performance of the IAA algorithm is significantly degraded in the case of a small tomographic aperture. To overcome this shortcoming, this paper proposes the robust IAA (RIAA) algorithm for SAR tomography. The proposed approach follows the framework of the IAA algorithm, but also considers the noise term in the covariance matrix estimation. By doing so, the condition number of the covariance matrix can be prevented from being too large, improving the robustness of the forest height estimation with the IAA algorithm. A set of simulated experiments was carried out, and the results validated the superiority of the RIAA estimator in the case of a small tomographic aperture. Moreover, a number of fully polarimetric L-band airborne tomographic SAR images acquired from the ESA BioSAR 2008 campaign over the Krycklan Catchment, Northern Sweden, were collected for test purposes. The results showed that the RIAA algorithm performed better in reconstructing the vertical structure of the forest than the IAA algorithm in areas with a small tomographic aperture. Finally, the forest height was estimated by both the RIAA and IAA TomoSAR methods, and the estimation accuracy of the RIAA algorithm was 2.01 m, which is more accurate than the IAA algorithm with 3.25 m.

In this article, the remote sensing of forest parameters using multimodal remote sensing is presented. In particular, polarimetric radar, Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR), and near-IR passive optical sensing platforms are employed in conjunction with physics-based models. These models are used to accurately estimate forest aboveground biomass as well as canopy height in homogeneous areas. It is shown that this proposed method is capable of achieving high accuracy estimates while using minimal ancillary data in the estimation process. We present a method to combine measured data sets with our geometric and electromagnetic sensor models to develop a forest parameter estimation algorithm that fuses multimodal remote sensing technologies with a minimal amount of ground information and yields an accurate estimate of forest structure including dry biomass and canopy height with rms errors of 1.6 kg/m 2 and 1.68 m respectively.

Evaluating P-Band TomoSAR for biomass retrieval in boreal forest / Erik Blomberg in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 59 n° 5 (May 2021)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 59 n° 5 (May 2021) . - pp 3793 - 3804 Titre : Evaluating P-Band TomoSAR for biomass retrieval in boreal forest Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Erik Blomberg, Auteur ; Lars M.H. Ulander, Auteur ; Stefano Tebaldini, Auteur ; Laurent Ferro-Famil, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 3793 - 3804 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] bande P [Termes IGN] biomasse forestière [Termes IGN] données TomoSAR [Termes IGN] forêt boréale Résumé : (Auteur) P-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is sensitive to above-ground biomass (AGB) but retrieval accuracy has been shown to deteriorate in topographic areas. In boreal forest, the signal penetrates through the canopy to interact with the ground producing variations in backscatter depending on ground topography, forest structure, and soil moisture. Tomographic processing of multiple SAR images Tomographic SAR (TomoSAR) provides information about the vertical backscatter distribution. This article evaluates the use of P-band TomoSAR data to improve AGB retrievals from backscattered intensity by suppressing the backscattered signal from the ground. This approach can be used even when the tomographic resolution is insufficient to resolve the vertical backscatter profile. The analysis is based on P-band data from two campaigns: BioSAR-1 (2007) in Remingstorp, southern Sweden, and BioSAR-2 (2008) in Krycklan (KR), northern Sweden. BioSAR airborne data were also processed to correspond as closely as possible to future BIOMASS TomoSAR acquisitions, with BioSAR-2-based results shown. A power law AGB model using volumetric HV polarized backscatter performs best in KR, with training residual root mean-squared error (RMSE) of 30%–36% (27–33 t/ha) for airborne data and 38%–39% for simulated BIOMASS data. Airborne TomoSAR data suggest that both vertical and horizontal tomographic resolution are of importance and that it is possible to greatly reduce AGB retrieval bias when compared with airborne P-band SAR backscatter intensity-based retrievals. A lack of significant ground slopes in Remningstorp reduces the benefit of using TomoSAR data which performs similar to retrievals based solely on P-band SAR backscatter intensity.

This particular dataset is acquired by using both ping-pong and non-ping-pong modes, which permit forming a dual-baseline TomoSAR configuration, i.e., an extreme configuration for tomographic processing. A tomographic approach, based on polarimetric Capon and MUSIC estimators, is proposed to estimate the elevation of tree top and of underlying ground, and hence forest height is estimated. The resulting forest DTM and DSM over the test site are validated against LiDAR-derived estimates, demonstrating the undeniable capability of the single-pass L-band PolInSAR system for forest monitoring.
