In this paper we used high resolution satellite imagery in order to study the Pordenone Mountain forests (Friuli Venezia Giulia - North-East of Italy). Our aim is to develop a method able to estimate wood biomass using a vegetation index (NDVI – Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). In order to do this we analysed a Quickbird satellite image, dated 24 June 2003, and we compared our results with biomass data in weight, cut from two small forest areas.

Abstract
In this paper we used high resolution satellite imagery in order to study the Pordenone Mountain forests (Friuli Venezia Giulia - North-East of Italy). Our aim is to develop a method able to estimate wood biomass using a vegetation index (NDVI – Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). In order to do this we analysed a Quickbird satellite image, dated 24 June 2003, and we compared our results with biomass data in weight, cut from two small forest areas.File in questo prodotto:
