Effect of Slope on Estimating Tree Biomass using Satellite Data in Belasitsa Mountain Forest, Bulgaria
Abstract: 800x600 Remote sensing of above ground tree biomass (AGTB) in rugged and mountainous forest sites incurs uncertainties in accuracy due to the influences of various bio-physical and topographic factors. Particularly slope is an important factor affecting the accuracy of remote sensing AGTB. This study investigates how slope affects the estimation of above ground tree biomass using vegetation indices (VIs) calculated from an ASTER image in the Belasitsa Mountain forest in …
