Abstract :
In this paper, an electromagnetic scattering model based on the electric field integral representation is used to separate the scattering mechanisms involved in the interaction of an electromagnetic field with forested areas. This model is used to examine the different coupling effects between the main scatterers (trunks and branches) and those between the scatterers and the ground.
