RESUMO

The main goal of this dissertation is to calibrate the cerrado vegetation physiognomies (Brazilian savannas) with their seasonal spectral signatures to help the monitoring and the conservation of their remnants. The study area is the cerrado Pé-de- Gigante (belonging to State Park of Vassununga in Santa Rita do Passa Quatro -SP). Using NDVI images derived from TM-Landsat (red and near infrared), the physiognomic classes were identified spectral and seasonally. To validate the method, a map of areas of probable physiognomies occurrence were build using NDVI images from dry and wet season. After field checking, the NDVI values of 5 dates were extracted to establish the NDVI range of each physiognomy. Using the digital terrain model, slope and aspect maps were used to prepare another map with 5 zones (N, S, W, E and flat), looking for to test the topographic effect in NDVI. Added to this, the NDVI classes were compared with the literature, as well as the separate signature in red, near infrared and middle infrared. It was noticed a strong weather condition influence over the physiognomies along the seasons, corroborated by the NDVI variation classes obtained from satellite imagery.
