Time-series maps of aboveground biomass in dipterocarps forests of Malaysia from PALSAR and PALSAR-2 polarimetric data

Table 6 Summary of the correlations between AGB and the backscatter of HV polarization

Year	Sensor	Prediction equation	R²	Number of samples (n)	RMSE (Mg ha⁻¹)
2010	PALSAR	y = 2182.9e^0.1442x	0.2735	254	115.89
2016	PALSAR-2	y = 8665e^0.2535x	0.5581	80	117.45
2010 and 2016	PALSAR+PALSAR-2	y = 3166.7e^0.1744x	0.3541	334	116.91

Backscatter is in gamma naught (γ°, dB) and AGB in (Mg ha − 1). All correlations are significant at p < 0.05
