Abstract: P-band airborne SAR (the French RAMSES facility) data were acquired in the framework of the PYLA 2001 project. Images from the Nezer forest are investigated by means of a Van Zyl classification scheme. A new relation between the classification in terms of backscattering mechanisms and the mean height of the trees is proposed.
