    Abstract

    Polarimetric Palsar data were ortho-rectified for analysis of polarimetric signatures of forested stands. A strong positive correlation of 0.93 was found between Palsar HV amplitude and forest stem volume in stands with a stem volume of 150 m3/ha or below. For HH data, the correlation coefficient was 0.82.
