Abstract	This paper shows a model study about the emissivity of forests. Model outputs are compared with multifrequency airborne measurements carried out over five broadleaf forests in Italy. Two flights took place, in summer 1999 and winter 2002. Available ground truth included important variables, such as biomass, tree density, and average trunk diameter. This data set, in conjunction with allometric equations and information taken from the literature, is used to give inputs to the model. A general agreement between simulated and measured data is observed at L-, C-, and X-bands. The same model is used to investigate the sensitivity of forest emissivity to soil moisture, woody volume, and average diameter. As expected, a moderate effect of soil moisture is observed only at L-band and for forests with a lower woody volume. At L-band, the model predicts a general increase of emissivity with woody volume but indicates that also the trunk diameter exerts an important influence, since it is a variable which controls several geometrical properties. These results allow us to single out the influence of soil moisture, woody volume, and geometrical properties at L-band. The increase of emissivity with frequency, observed in experimental data, is interpreted by means of electromagnetic considerations about branch scattering.
