Aboveground Biomass Estimates of Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze, Using Vegetation Indexes in Wolrdview-2 Image
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The present research aims to evaluate the biomass estimates of Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze trees obtained by the direct method, then present results generated from a 2.0 m resolution spectral image Worldview-2 satellite. The quantification of the biomass in the field was first carried out of 29 trees of the specie of interest with DBH ≥ 40 cm and then with the image aid the crowns were delimited for analysis. From the spectral bands (B2-blue, B3-green, B4-yellow, B5-red, B6-near red, B7-near infrared 2 and B8-near infrared 2), it was possible to obtain vegetation indexes proposed by the literature (NDVI, NDVI_2, RS and SAVI_0,25) and later incorporated with dendrometric data a correlation matrix was formed. Additionally, mathematical equations were used to estimate biomass and carbon as a function of dendrometric variables and information obtained from the satellite image processing. From these equations, the ones that presented better results were those that contained independent dendrometric variables (DBH) and those that contained vegetation indices (NDVI_2 and NDVI). For the dendrometers, the relative error found was 14.42% and 14.32% for biomass and carbon respectively, while for the digital ones, NDVI_2 found a relative error of 37.82% and an adjusted coefficient of determination of 0.88 in the biomass equations. In the carbon equations, the NDVI variable presented the best results, being 38.56% the relative error and 0.87 the determination coefficient.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
