Predicting the distribution of forest tree species using topographic variables and vegetation index in eastern Acre, Brazil

Abstract: A modelagem de distribuição de espécie tem implicações fundamentais para o estudo da biodiversidade, tomada de decisão em conservação e para a compreensão dos requerimentos ecológicos das espécies. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar se a utilização de inventários florestais pode melhorar a estimativa de probabilidade de ocorrência, identificar os limites da distribuição potencial e preferência de habitat de um grupo de espécies madeireiras. As variáveis ambientais preditoras foram: altitude, declividade, ex… Show more

“…Our modelling results (Table ) confirmed that multispectral surface reflectance data layers make a useful contribution to modelling understorey fern and lycophyte species composition at the basin‐wide extent, complementing information that can be obtained from climate variables. This is in accordance with results of several studies carried out at relatively small extents (Buermann et al, ; Chaves, Ruokolainen, & Tuomisto, ; Figueiredo, Venticinque, Figueiredo, & Ferreira, ; Higgins et al, , ; Salovaara et al, ; Thessler et al, ; Tuomisto, Poulsen, et al, ; Tuomisto, Ruokolainen, Aguilar, et al, ). New generation medium‐resolution multispectral instruments with improved spectral and radiometric resolution (Landsat 8 OLI, Sentinel‐2) can be expected to be even more valuable for these applications.…”

“…A few recent studies have used Landsat data as environmental layers in species distribution models (SDMs) over relatively small extents (Chaves et al, ; Figueiredo et al, ). Our results suggest that the same approach is feasible even at the basin‐wide extent (see also Van doninck & Tuomisto, 2018).…”
