Abstract Global forests are increasingly threatened by disturbance events such as wildfire. Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) missions at L‐ (or P‐) band, such as the upcoming NASA ISRO SAR (NISAR), have great potential to advance global mapping of above‐ground biomass (AGB). AGB mapping wit...
