ABSTRACT

Current tree biomass estimation techniques generally use remote sensing data and allometric
models for validation, which relate non-destructive parameters to plant biomass, usually employing
diameter at the plant base or breast height and plant height. In the Caatinga Biome, many plants
present multiple stems, thus making it difficult to measure the plant diameter, and lost branches,
which are difficult to correct for. Hence, there is a need for suitable models for Caatinga plants,
as well as studies on the possibility of using other parameters. For this study, plant and branch
basal diameter, plant height, and crown area of Croton sonderianus plants were measured, and
plants were also collected and weighed. Several classic models and their variations were tested.
The best models were variations of Naslund (R2 = 0.92; rmse = 1,221) and Schumacher &amp; Hall(R2
 = 0.92; rmse = 1,217). Plant height and crown area enables a better biomass estimation than
using plant or branch basal diameter.

Área da Copa como Parâmetro para Estimar Biomassa de Croton sonderianus Müll. Arg

RESUMO

As técnicas modernas para estimar biomassa arbórea geralmente usam dados de sensoriamento
remoto e modelos alométricos para validação, que relacionam parâmetros não destrutivos com
a biomassa da planta, normalmente empregando diâmetro basal ou diâmetro à altura do peito e
altura da planta. No bioma Caatinga, muitas plantas apresentam múltiplas ramificações, o que
dificulta a medição do seu diâmetro, e ramos perdidos, de difícil correção. Assim, são necessários
modelos adequados para plantas da Caatinga, além de estudos sobre a possibilidade de uso de
outros parâmetros. Para este estudo, foram mensurados diâmetro basal de plantas e ramos,
altura das plantas e área da copa de indivíduos de Croton sonderianus, e plantas foram coletadas
e pesadas. Vários modelos clássicos e variações foram testados. Os melhores modelos foram
variações de Naslund (R2 = 0,92; rmse = 1.221) e Schumacher &amp; Hall (R2 = 0,92; rmse = 1.217).
Altura das plantas e área da copa permitem estimar melhor a biomassa do que diâmetro basal
de plantas ou ramos.
