The TanDEM-X InSAR have shown great potential for estimation of forest height with high-resolution over large-scale. The feasibility of retrieving forest height is verified in subset area of different forest scenarios, indicating that InSAR coherence can be a reliable variable for inverting forest height without using interferometric phase. Therefore, for the Spanish forest with relatively short canopy height over Mediterranean climate, TanDEM-X InSAR data was used in this paper to map a large-scale forest height. The experimental results show that the proposed mapping method of forest height in large-scale has the advantages of promising accuracy and simplicity.
