Assessing the combination of passive and active microwave satellite observations (1.4 to 36 GHz) to estimate above ground biomass (AGB) globally

Key Points

• The combination of active and passive microwave observations enhances estimation accuracy of above ground biomass.
• Using observations from 1.4 to 36 GHz improves biomass estimation under various conditions.
• Observational analysis captures diverse biomass scenarios using satellite technology across regions.
• This approach may lead to better monitoring of carbon stocks and ecosystem health worldwide.
