A comparison study was conducted to verify the explanatory power and information contents of several 3D remote sensing data sources on the retrieval of above ground biomass (AGB), stem volume (VOL), basal area (G), basal-area weighted mean diameter (D-g) and Lorey's mean height (H-g) at the plot level, utilizing the following data: synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Interferome...
