Validação do modelo digital de exploração florestal (Modeflora) na fase pré-exploratória em florestas manejadas no Amazonas

Abstract

Model Digital Logging (Modeflora) technology that uses computer resources and highprecision equipment in tropical forest management, developed by Embrapa Acre (Rio Branco) and Embrapa Florestas (Colombo / PR), al.ows an accurate mapping of the area management, taking into account aspects of the reality of the forest. Since 2007 the technology is used by several companies timber in Acre in implementing their management plans. This work was validated utlização this methodology in the pre exploratory modeled hydrography and collecting the true coordinates of the trees in a forest management company owned by Precious Wooods Amazon, located in the city of Silves, Amazonas - Brazil. We obtained a map of hydrography of the study area and a database compared to the amount of trees by Modeflora method and the method practiced by the company. The Modeflora method is effective and easy to use.
