N2 - In this paper, we attempt to develop the soil moisture retrieval method taking into account a wide variety of vegetation variations for the sparsely vegetated area. The method is constructed by introducing generalized volume scattering model into the polarimetric two-scale two-component model (PTSTCM). The proposed method was applied to L-band fully polarimetric ALOS-2 SAR datasets obtained over tropical peatland, Indonesia. The retrieved results were validated by simultaneously measured in-situ soil moisture. The proposed method yields more improved results than original PTSTCM with specific types of volume model (i.e., randomly, horizontally, and vertically oriented volume models) regarding the root-mean-square-error (RMSE) as well as inversion rate.
