| contents | An area in central Siberia (partial coverage of Turukhansky und Yeniseysky districts) was investigated using satellite data. It covers freshwater ecosystems of non-forested peatlands in boreal forests. The satellite data represent the growing seasons of 2003/2004. Microwave data were acquired by the Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) instrument onboard ENVISAT. The multi-temporal capabilities and resolution (150mx150m in WS mode) of the ASAR wide swath mode enabled the detection of dynamic features >2ha over this vast area. Scatterometer (QuikScat) data could be employed to distinguish hydro-periods. Wetland types have been identified on the basis of seasonal changes in backscatter. Results for peatlands have been compared with Russian forest inventory data which contain information on wetland distribution. |
