  # Models to estimate SAR-based Vegetation indices and biophysical variables
6

  This study presents a machine learning-based approach to estimate optical vegetation indices and biophysical variables (hereafter referred to as VIs) using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and ancillary data for forest monitoring.

- The best-performing models were Random Forest Regressor (RFR) for LAI and FAPAR and XGBoost (XGB) for EVI and NDVI. These models were trained on temporally and spatially aligned time series (TS) datasets, containing Sentinel-1 SAR data, Sentinel-2 multispectral data, DEM-based features and meteorological variables. It provides an accurate and timely alternative to optical-based VIs.
