Summary
Research reveals that carbon sequestration in the Cerrado bioma, specifically within the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, is significantly reduced during dry seasons due to increased wildfires and low precipitation. The study utilized multiespectral remote sensing techniques, including NDVI, sPRI, and CO2flux indices, to analyze carbon flux across five months in 2019 using Sentinel-2 satellite data. Findings demonstrate a clear correlation between fire activity and reduced carbon sequestration, highlighting the critical impact of environmental factors on this process. This approach provides a robust method for monitoring carbon dynamics in protected areas, offering valuable insights for conservation strategies.
