Abstract
Many papers have been devoted to the problem of radio wave reflection from vegetation. The investigations have been pursued over a wide range of wavelengths (meterwave, microwave, millimeterwave, optical wave) using active methods (radar, scatterometers) and passive methods (radiometry, photography) as well. Ground-based, aircraft and satellite-based measurements and theoretical analyses have been performed. The results have been published in a number of reviews [Potapov, 1992; Yakovlev, 1994; Chuhlantzev, 1980] and monographs [Shutko, 1986; Ratchkulik, 1981; Kondratiev, 1984].
