RESUMO

Studying and monitoring the vegetation - forest, savannah or other types - is important to understand the current climatic standard. Dynamical vegetation models (DVM) are useful tools in biome studies as they are based on physical principles as well as on initial and boundary conditions, therefore can obtain evidence of the influence of factors on the modeled environment, predict future vegetation behavior and, in association with other models, make predictions about vegetation future influence on climate or about the effect of climate change on vegetation. In particular, reflectance models are part of DVMs. Some studies have attempted to identify, canopy elements on the response of the vegetation cover albedo, the effect of obtaining the best parameters configuration. However, the reflectance study for electromagnetic spectrum narrower bands shows further features of the studied objects. Important features are estimated from the response of specific bands vegetation reflectance. Therefore, the objective of this thesis was to add three bands - red, near infrared and blue, corresponding to the bands 1, 2 and 3 of the sensor MODIS, onboard the TERRA and AQUA satellites, into the IBIS model - Integrated Biosphere Simulator, observe the canopy reflectance sensitivity to architectural and optical parameters, and calibrate these parameters according to the surface reflectance products and vegetation index from MODIS for the Reserve Cuieiras (K34). The sensitivity analysis indicates a strong response to the upper canopy parameters. The parameters combination that minimizes the RMSE of EVI - Enhanced Vegetation Index (RMSE = 0.0245) are the slope of the upper canopy leaves up χ = 0.92, reflectance from the upper canopy leaves in the blue band blue−up ρ = 0.0162, red band red −up ρ = 0.0466 and near infrared band nir−up ρ = 0.4427.
