Abstract
The present research aims to evaluate the biomass estimates of Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze trees obtained by the direct method, then present results generated from a 2.0 m resolution spectral image Worldview-2 satellite. The quantification of the biomass in the field was first carried out of 29 trees of the specie of interest with DBH ≥ 40 cm and then with the image aid the crowns were delimited for analysis. From the spectral bands (B2-blue, B3-green, B4-yellow, B5-red, B6-near red, B7-near infrared 2 and B8-near infrared 2), it was possible to obtain vegetation indexes proposed by the literature (NDVI, NDVI_2, RS and SAVI_0,25) and later incorporated with dendrometric data a correlation matrix was formed. Additionally, mathematical equations were used to estimate biomass and carbon as a function of dendrometric variables and information obtained from the satellite image processing. From these equations, the ones that presented better results were those that contained independent dendrometric variables (DBH) and those that contained vegetation indices (NDVI_2 and NDVI). For the dendrometers, the relative error found was 14.42% and 14.32% for biomass and carbon respectively, while for the digital ones, NDVI_2 found a relative error of 37.82% and an adjusted coefficient of determination of 0.88 in the biomass equations. In the carbon equations, the NDVI variable presented the best results, being 38.56% the relative error and 0.87 the determination coefficient.
