Relating The Microwave Signatures Of Trees To Their Structure Results Of An Experimental/Theoretical Approach

The effect of coniferous architecture on radar backscattering, is studied, based on experiments and theoretical modelling. Starting from the basic properties of tree components and of trees in laboratory conditions, to forest responses in natural conditions, it is established that microwave signatures depend on the tree architecture. Nevertheless, at :(-Band the major contribution comes from the needles of the upper layer which tends to mask the more pronounced effects of branches structure. Greater effects are expected at lower frequencies.
