The present work aims to demonstrate the central variability in forest in relation to stocks and forest carbon biomass above ground, from the identification and characterization based on remote sensing, landscape units in an area located in the municipality of Belterra, western Pará State, from the theoretical-conceptual approach of landscape ecology. For the scope of this proposition, the methodology used was based on the literature review on the topic, data acquisition and orbital mapping, use of remote sensing techniques, field data collection, processing and statistical analysis. The work is divided into four chapters, followed by general considerations of the work. Based on the theoretical-methodological of Landscape Ecology, analyzes the social and environmental dynamics of the municipality of Belterra, who currently experiences the expansion of agricultural activities, especially agriculture mechanized soy. From the analysis of multi-temporal Landsat images of the city we could assess the distribution of existing forest cover in the same as well as the spatial distribution of the main landscape units identified. Considering this clipping was held to collect field data via forest inventory in four forest types (forest high plateau, low plateau forest, secondary vegetation and ecological tension) to obtain morphometric parameters of vegetation and subsequent quantification of stocks biomass and carbon contained in each unit as well as observe the structural behavior of the same forest. The adoption of the landscape as the spatial scale of analysis proved to be quite satisfactory in the quantification of biomass and carbon stocks of forest to allow considering the influence of socioeconomic dynamics in reducing these stocks. Furthermore, analyzes showed that recognition of the heterogeneity of forest cover is an essential element for obtaining carbon estimates according to the structural characteristics of vegetation which varies with the topography of the terrain, with the species present and the geographical features, which involves the type climate, geomorphologic characteristics, soil and geological area.
