The method for assessment the volume of a forest stand based on measurements of the attenuation of navigation satellites signals in the L1 range and morphological features of forest species is presented. The dielectric model of a mixed dielectric with the natural structural features of the species of the forest stand was used. The option of restoring the biomass volume of the forest stand according to the radioscopy data on the mixed forest test site is considered. The practical applications of the method of continuous local monitoring of the forest stand condition in forest science are discussed.

The model of interaction of signals from navigation satellites with the tree crown is considered. The contribution of the anisotropy of the dielectric constant to the cross section of radio wave scattering due to the orientational ordering of the branches is shown. The calculation of the scattering cross sections for small and large elements is presented. The tensor of orientational ordering of tree branches with division into tiers differing in the size and orientation of elements is introduced. Test measurements of navigation satellite signals passed through the crowns of spruce trees were carried out.
