FOREST INVENTORY
The Forest Inventory is a procedure used to determine quantitative and qualitative characteristics of planted and native forests.
The Forest Inventories are planned and executed according to the information that is desired to be obtained from the forest, being possible to carry out both the sample measurement of the forest and the measurement of all existing trees (census). For example, the inventory can provide a general idea of the volume and quality of the planted or native forest (diagnostic inventory) or it can accurately determine the species existing in a native forest and its structure (floristic / phytosociological inventory).
In planted forests, the forest inventory can generate periodic information for monitoring the forest (continuous inventory) or accurate volumetric information to determine the volume that will be harvested (pre-cut inventory). The inventory can also serve to determine the amount of carbon stored in the native or planted forest (inventory with estimated carbon stock).
The Forest Inventory is a fundamental step for planning the use of the forest. Its results allow forestry companies to forecast the current and future wood volume in the forest and to develop supply strategies in the medium to short term.

O Monitoramento Ambiental, obrigação imposta para o acompanhamento da evolução dos projetos de restauração florestal, é uma prática que vem sendo cada dia mais exigida das empresas que causam impactos ao meio ambiente. Confira os passos do Método Index para um Monitoramento Ambiental de projetos de Recuperação Florestal de qualidade em nosso novo e-book!
Toda atividade antrópica que transforma, danifica ou destrói as condições originais do meio ambiente possui o ônus da recuperação ambiental. Tal obrigação emana de um dos princípios do direito ambiental brasileiro, o princípio do poluidor-pagador, o qual reconhece que os danos ambientais causados pelas atividades antrópicas devem ser compensados. A compensação visa restabelecer da melhor forma possível as condições originais do meio impactado.
O monitoramento ambiental de projetos de restauração florestal é uma obrigação imposta para o acompanhamento de projetos, e o uso de geotecnologia permite a ampliação do alcance do monitoramento e a geração de um número maior de dados, reduzindo custos e aprimorando as análises.
