Usage

Biomass

Part of the Forage Grass analysis suite. Estimates above-ground biomass using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery combined with machine learning models trained on field measurements.

Overview

Biomass estimation helps farmers understand the quantity of forage available in their fields. The model combines Sentinel-2 spectral data with ML algorithms calibrated against actual field measurements to produce spatially detailed biomass maps.

Process Biomass

GraphQL Mutation

mutation { processBioMass( polygonId: "abc123-def456-ghi789" startDate: "2025-06-01" endDate: "2025-08-31" ) { Status Message Result { requestId } } }

Retrieve Biomass

GraphQL Query

query { retrieveBioMass( polygonId: "abc123-def456-ghi789" startDate: "2025-06-01" endDate: "2025-08-31" ) { colorlegend tif png json } }

Response Format

Returns the standard four output types:

colorlegend — Static reference image for the biomass color scale.
tif — GeoTIFF raster files for GIS processing.
png — Visual PNG images showing biomass distribution.
json — Statistical summaries per date.

Forage Grass Suite: Biomass is most useful when combined with Crude Protein and Dry Matter to assess both quantity and quality of available forage.
