Abstract

Reforestation with eucalyptus is booming in Brazil due to the demand of this raw material in industry and construction. However, despite the importance of planted forests as the main raw material for the forest-based industry and other products, the eucalyptus in the Goias State has been little studied. One reason for the lack of studies in the Goias State is due to the lack of disaggregated data and large spray of eucalyptus plantations in the state, making it difficult to obtain forestry statistics. The objective is to collect and analyze the evolution of the area planted with eucalyptus in three municipalities from Goias state. The methodology is composed by regression analysis and geoprocessing with remote sensing data. The results of this study indicate a strong potential forest from private nonindustrial lands in the municipalities of Alexânia, Abadiânia Anápolis.

Keywords: Goias State; forest plantations; Eucalyptus spp.; geoprocessing.
