The article considers the problem of estimating parameters of root crop biomass using Earth remote sensing data. The underground part of the biomass of this type of crops is inaccessible to optical remote sensing. To solve this problem, it is necessary to use three mathematical models: a model of the dynamics of root crop biomass parameters reflecting the relationship between the above-ground part of the biomass and the mass of the root part of the crop; a model of soil environment parameters reflecting the removal of nutrients and moisture by the biomass of the root crop; as well as a model of optical remote sensing reflecting the relationship between the reflectance parameters in the red and near infrared ranges and the parameters of the above-ground part of the biomass. Due to the fact that the underground part of the crop is inaccessible to Earth remote sensing, special requirements are imposed on the model of the dynamics of root crop biomass parameters. It must have the property of observability that ensures the restoration of all components of the biomass when estimating it using remote sensing data. Availability of these models allows for simultaneous assessment of parameters of both root crops biomass and soil environment with the assessment algorithm data source confined to real Earth remote sensing data.
Keywords: Earth remote sensing, root crops, biomass parameters, mathematical models, estimation algorithm
