摘要：Many works have shown the existence of correlations between aboveground biomass and radiometric information provided by satellite images. Remote sensing applications to quantify aboveground biomass present some advantages regarding traditional forest inventories. In this context, there is a lack of remote sensing studies which focus on the estimation of forest residual biomass, whose energetic use has some environmental and socio-economic benefits. The objective of this study is to develop a methodology to evaluate –by means of logistic regression- residual biomass in the pine forests of the Teruel province using a Landsat TM image, topographic variables and forest cartography variables, using as reference data National Forest Inventory plots and field work. The results show that MSI, TM4 and the forest cartography variable level of maturity are the best predictors to evaluate this resource.
