Abstract
The presented novel approach for biomass estimation is based on remote sensing derived NPP time-series and is thus potentially transferable in space and time. This is a great advantage compared to commonly applied empirical relationships. The presented concept can be adapted to be applied to other vegetation communities. Providing the necessary data about fractional vegetation cover is available, the method will allow for repeated and large-area biomass estimation for natural semi-arid environments as needed for observing changes in biomass and support sustainable land management.
