At present time, many government, state, and private forestry organizations and
agencies utilize geospatial technology such as GIS (geographic information sys-
tems) and remote sensing for various applications supporting analysis, assessment,
and management of forests. It is well known that among the types of remote sensing
techniques, microwave radiometry is proved to be effective for observations of SPF
environmental parameters. However, these observations are a function of different
environmental conditions mainly depending on the SPF type. For this reason, it is
necessary to develop data processing methods for microwave monitoring that allow
