 Abstract: Data from the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission were exploited to explore its potential in providing ecosystem information. Here the strength of an innovative relationship, between SMOS V620 algorithm data and Ecosystem Functional Properties (EFPs) derived from flux towers data, was preliminary investigated for Africa and South America forests. Correlation was also explored for above ground forest biomass. High correlation values were found between SMOS vegetation optical depth (VOD) and a AGB reference map, and with EFPs at year level (2014). Different VOD-EFPs trends were found for different latitudinal belts, characterizing wet and dry forests. The results suggest that SMOS VOD data represent a tool able to provide repeated information on forest biomass and forest processes in tropical and subtropical ranges.
