TerraSAR-X based Monitoring of Forest Degradation in Ghana
TerraSAR-X based Monitoring of Forest Degradation in Ghana TerraSAR-X-based forest distur- bance monitoring provides an innovative method of estimating the area of forest degradation and thus supports a sustainable and precise carbon accounting following international standards. According to the WWF, the Republic of Ghana has lost 90% of its native rain forest over the last 50 years and Ghana’s remaining forests are further in decline.
