Climax and pioneering tree species were mapped in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest Biome.
Airborne hyperspectral and multispectral data in the 400–2400 nm range were used.
Shortwave infrared bands (SWIR, 1045–2400 nm) increased discrimination accuracies.
Reliable species maps were produced using an object-oriented approach.
Keystone species such as C.legalis and A. polyneuron could be accurately located.
