Title
L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery performs better than optical datasets at retrieving woody fractional cover in deciduous, dry savannahs.
Abstract
•Summer and autumn seasons LandSAT-5 images yielded highest single season accuracies.•Spectral vegetation indices and image textures provided minimal improvement.•L-band performs better than optical datasets at retrieving woody cover in savannahs.•Integration of LandSAT-5 and L-band data does provide a significant improvement.
