Abstract	Former NASA's Deformation, Ecosystem Structure, and Dynamics of Ice (DESDynI) satellite mission was to provide regional or global biomass carbon stock at regional, national, and global scales. Carbon Monitoring System UAVSAR and LVIS data acquired in August 2009 were used in this paper. In this paper we used Cloude's target decomposition theorem to decompose traditional polarimetric SAR data, and then to estimate biomass. By certification of LVIS derived biomass, the results show that only decomposed scattering elements are not enough for biomass retrieval, but they could improve the accuracy of biomass retrieval. The standard error for only polmethod is 66.3Mg/ha, but for both polametric and decomposed data is only 64.1Mg/ha.
