\"\"<\/a>The rugged terrain of inland S\u00e3o Paulo is shown in vibrant color for good reason.\u00a0 The landscape is not a photograph, but rather an image processed from clouds of points produced with a laser scanning technology known as Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR).\u00a0 The equipment, deployed from an airplane, performs a sweep of the selected area and provides several pieces of information, including the volume of lumber, the amount of carbon and the profile of the native or planted forest.\u00a0 The technique \u2013 already employed as a source of data for scientific studies abroad as well as breaking new ground in the area of remote sensing \u2013 is being used for the first time by a team from the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture at the University of S\u00e3o Paulo (Esalq-USP) in forestry studies and applications.\u00a0 This image depicts a plantation of eucalyptus on the left and pastureland on the right, separated by the ridge of rugged terrain.\u00a0 The image was captured and processed by Pollyanna Santos during a forestry engineering internship activity.<\/p>\n
