Remotely Sensed Herbaceous Rangelands Biomass from African Rangelands : Validation and Uncertainties
Author
Summary, in English
This research explores herbaceous biomass estimation in African rangelands through remote sensing, emphasizing challenges and uncertainties. Comparing remote sensing data with ground validation, the study addresses spatiotemporal variations, employing advanced models and validation techniques. Harmonizing and calibrating ground data from four African countries, the research provides insights into optimal biomass accumulation periods. Results highlight complexities in validation due to diverse data collection and preparation methods. The study contributes to refining biomass estimation models and emphasizes collaborative efforts for accurate assessments in ecologically significant landscapes.
