Abstract the relationship between the microwave backscattering coefficient and the leaf area index (LAI) in
Tropical Plantation Forest area was studied, and a method for estimating leaf area index retrieved from Radarsat-1
SAR based on the modified WATER-CLOUD Model was presented. The method was applied over Leizhou site in Guangdong
Province, with the correlation of the main species being approximately 0.7. Based on characteristics of forest and
radar images, the method can effectively estimate plantation forest LAI in the cloud-prone and raining area.
