Abstract: Forest biomass is an important indicator for monitoring forest ecosystems.GLAS waveform information has a strong correlation with the forest canopy height and biomass and has broad application prospects for estimating the forest canopy height,biomass and other parameters.This paper introduces the GLAS laser radar system and its characteristics,and summarizes forest canopy height GLAS,principles and methods of estimating biomass,and the model of estimating forest canopy height and biomass is also introduced.

Key words: GLAS, laser radar, forest biomass, estimation method
