To reduce the uncertainties in estimating and predicting vegetation biomass and to aid in the development of climate change strategies, this project will formulate and explore the first detailed long term aboveground vegetation biomass carbon record for Australia using a series of satellite passive microwave instruments. The spatiotemporal variation in biomass carbon over past decades will be investigated to better understand how it responds to changing climate and human activities. Such information will allow more accurate estimation of future vegetation dynamics and carbon storage. Moreover, an enhanced bushfire danger index that incorporates aboveground biomass information will be developed to more precisely predict the potential damage.

为了减少估算和预测植被生物量的不确定性，并帮助制定气候变化战略，该项目将利用一系列卫星被动微波仪器制定和探索澳大利亚第一个详细的长期地上植被生物量碳记录。为了更好地了解其对气候变化和人类活动的响应，将研究过去几十年生物质碳的时空变化。这些信息将有助于更准确地估计未来的植被动态和碳储量。此外，将开发一个包含地上生物量信息的增强森林火灾危险指数，以更准确地预测潜在的损害。
