monitoring, especially for biomass feedstock quality assessment, such as low spatial
and temporal resolutions, availability limited by weather conditions, and high cost.
Therefore, great potential for approaching large-scale biomass yield prediction based
on satellite imaginary after recalibration with the site-specifi c real-time remote sens-
ing data so that the decision support tool with data to knowledge can be achieved for
the BFP industry.
