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.
