MODELS OF THE INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BIOMETRIC AND THE OPTICALSPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FOREST VEGETATION/

The paper analyses published data about the interconnections between p arameters of forests such as the tracery of crowns and the spacing of trees, and radiation within the field of view of remote sensing appara tus. The models under development can be used to calculate correspondi ng families of curves, giving a representation of the accuracy of solu tions of the inverse problems of determination of the leaf/needle phyt omass of forest vegetation from satellite multispectral measurements. Examples of the studied interrelationships are given for deciduous and coniferous vegetation.
