Relatorio Final Do Projeto de Inventario Florestal NA Flona Do Tapajos (ForestInventory Project at the Tapajos National Forest, Volume 1)

摘要

A multistage sampling design for forest inventory was tested at the TapajosForest, located close to the city of Santarem, Para State, Brazil. This area has about 550,000 ha, covered by a dense tropical rainforest. Using the procedure of visual analysis of TM-Landsat images, five classes of forest were identified. The average and total volumes of timber for three forest classes were estimated. Furthermore, a data bank containing georeferenced data was set up, including thematic information such as vegetation, soils, geomorphology, drainage and topography, available to professionals of most different areas of human knowledge.
