Resumo:
The objective of this study was to determine and evaluate the annual performance of the accumulation of plant biomass in the Araripe, data from Landsat-5 TM, with the combination of algorithms SEBAL and CASA. For this study 6 images were obtained, in orbit 217/65 point, on the dates of 30/07/2006, 18/08/2007, 21/09/2008, 24/09/2009, 13/10/2010, 29/08/2011 corresponding to the DJ 211, 230, 264, 267, 286, 241, respectively. Evaluating plant biomass accumulated (Bio_Acum) gave average values for the area equal to 453.07 kg m-2 486.50 kg m-2 study, 457.23 kg m-2 571.82 kg m-2, 178.16 kg m-2 and 279.09 kg m-2, respectively, for these dates. The high values for the Bio_Acum Araripe, is due to the fact that the coverage area of trees is responsible for approximately 70% of the estimated biomass, where the vegetation index (NDVI) is greater than 0.65.
