We present a novel approach for biomass estimation in natural semi-arid environments.
- class="label">•
The approach is based on Net Primary Productivity data and Relative Growth Rates.
- class="label">•
We apply the approach to derive grass and shrub biomass in Kazakhstan.
- class="label">•
The developed approach is validated with field data from three study areas.
- class="label">•
Fractional cover data provide essential input regarding grass and shrub distribution.
