12 Orbite 59 Acquisitions over Parisian Region Fontainebleau Forest Orbite 110 ONF management, oaks, beeches, pines plots Coll. ESE / Paris Sud Remote Sensing + forest models: ==> better understanting functioning + interaction with climate / hazard

26 Crops areas Strong seasonal variations due to contrasted landscapes (tillages, vegetation dev ) Radar Backscattering Coefficient s 0 : Strong seasonal cycle s 0 VV / s 0 VH Not visible in VV polarisation Coherence: low ( r = 0.2) when vegetation fully developped high contrasts for other stages s 0 VV / s 0 VH and r complementary onformations Accurate in situ surveys (tillage) for deeper interpretation Dt = 12 days (1 satellite) limitations for reliable information ==> Sentinel-1A+B

27 CONCLUSION Monitoring of seasonal variations of vegetation: Strong contribtion of Sentinel-1: DT = 6-12 days s 0 VH / s 0 VV forests deciduous species (foliar activity) low correlation with precipitations r no meaningful information Agricultural areas s 0 VH / s 0 VV r DT = 12 days nice, DT = 6 days better Strong seasonal variations Complemetary informations Results to be extended with additional observations + Modelisation!!!
