                         fully polarimetric PALSAR data to discriminate and map macrophyte 
                         species in the Amazon floodplain wetlands. Fieldwork was carried 
                         out almost simultaneously to the radar acquisition, and macrophyte 
                         biomass and morphological variables were measured in the field. 
                         Attributes were calculated from the covariance matrix [C] derived 
                         from the single-look complex data. Image attributes and macrophyte 
                         variables were compared and analyzed to investigate the 
                         sensitivity of the attributes for discriminating among species. 
                         Based on these analyses, a rule-based classification was applied 
                         to map macrophyte species. Other classification approaches were 
                         tested and compared to the rule-based method: a classification 
                         based on the Freeman-Durden and Cloude-Pottier decomposition 
                         models, a hybrid classification (Wishart classifier with the input 
                         classes based on the H/a plane), and a statistical-based 
                         classification (supervised classification using Wishart distance 
                         measures). The findings show that attributes derived from fully 
                         polarimetric L-band data have good potential for discriminating 
                         herbaceous plant species based on morphology and that estimation 
                         of plant biomass and productivity could be improved by using these 
                         polarimetric attributes.",
