Large-scale regional or national forest inventories collect field data on sample plots systematically- or randomly-distributed, fully or partially covered by forests. This scientific note addresses differences between a prediction of a forest attribute per unit area that also considers land uses other than forest, and a prediction based only on the forested area of a sample plot. The former approach yields a mo...
A forest cover and land use map provides fundamental information for territorial management, aiming at socioeconomic development, environmental planning and control and protection of natural resources. In this article, a new forest cover map is introduced, using synergies between field data from Santa Catarina Floristic and Forest Inventory (IFFSC) and remote sensing data. Landsat-8 OLI images (2017) were class...

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the discussion on regional and national forest inventories, aiming mainly on aspects of methodos and operational. The Floristic and Forest Inventory of Santa Catarina State (IFFSC) is an initiative of the state government and it was conceived in order to attend requirements of environmental laws. A pilot inventory took place in 2005; then the methodology was fitted...
The present work aimed the characterization of the structure and dynamics of a forest patch belongingto the Ombrophylous Mixed Forest (FOM). Data from 10 permanent plots (25 x 100 m) representing the forestsubtype “predominance of Araucaria”, located at the Forest Reserve Embrapa-Epagri, in Caçador, State of Santa Catarina, were analyzed. Each tree whose girth at breast height (GBH) was equal or larger than 60 ...
