UAS-GEOBIA Approach to Sapling Identification in Jack Pine Barrens after Fire [PDF]
Jack pine (pinus banksiana) forests are unique ecosystems controlled by wildfire. Understanding the traits of revegetation after wildfire is important for sustainable forest management, as these forests not only provide economic resources, but also are home to specialized species, like the Kirtland Warbler (Setophaga kirtlandii).

INCONSISTÊNCIAS DAS ÁREAS DE PRESERVAÇÃO PERMANENTE DO CADASTRO AMBIENTAL RURAL POR MEIO DA GEOBIA
No Brasil, as regras de exploração e de conservação da vegetação nativa estão instituídas no Novo Código Florestal, o registro das informações dos imóveis rurais é realizado através do Cadastro Ambiental Rural (CAR). O objetivo do estudo é desenvolver e avaliar uma metodologia para o mapeamento das inconsistências entre a cobertura e o uso da terra com

Burned Area Detection in the Brazilian Amazon using Spectral Indices and GEOBIA
Mapping refined burned areas (BA) in the Brazilian Amazon is still a challenge. The main difficulty of BA detection in large areas is the presence of cloud cover and water bodies. The use of different data sources of medium spatial resolution satellite images can provide a higher availability of cloud-free images.
