Remote Sensing of Aboveground Biomass in Tropical Secondary Forests: A Review

Figure 4

Climate, soil, and human activities determine the forest stand structure and the forest regrowth pattern. The estimated aboveground biomass (AGB) may be used as a variable to answer ecological issues, such as forest responses to environmental conditions, habitat suitability, carbon storage, and conservation in managed areas (adapted from Sarker et al. [132]).
