Figure 6: NDVI Difference between 1982 and 2002, in red
decrease, in green increase.
In the Figure 6, as example, we can observe the changes
along time and space, considering the variations in the
NDVI values.
All the processes that we have tested and combined in this
study gave us interesting results and many times they are the
origin of future researches in this thematic.
Many statistics results and processed images can not be
presented yet, but they are very promising.
We considered that our preliminary results constitute the
beginning of tools set for the entities public and private, and
non-govemmental organizations to improve the sustainable
management of natural resources and preserve this important
region with the higher values of biodiversity of our country.
