                         because they cause the degradation and loss of functions of water 
                         recycling, soil renewal and maintenance, and carbon storage. 
                         Because the intensification and frequency increase of events as 
                         prolonged droughts by the El Niño phenomenon, changes in land use 
                         and cover and by selective logging, the incidence of those events 
                         in the Amazon is reaching areas of humid forests with 
                         insignificant numbers of those occurrences. The objectives of this 
                         study were: (i) to estimate the area impacted by understory forest 
                         fires and; (ii) to estimate the dead biomass by forest physiognomy 
                         as a result of the fire effect. The analyzes were anchored in 
                         field data (frequency and mortality of trees by fire), in 
                         satellite images in a GIS environment. The total area burned 
                         reached 1,861.5 km2, affecting 68.0 x 106 Mg of biomass, of which 
                         15.3 x 106 Mg (22.4%) died. The Dense Ombrophylous Forest (Ds) was 
                         the most affected by the fires, as it covers Settlement Projects 
                         along the two main access roads of the State. Selective logging, 
                         coupled with the inappropriate use of fire and abnormal drought 
                         conditions, contributed to the spread of fire in the region. More 
                         detailed studies are needed in this wetland of Roraima to assess 
                         other impacts of fires (hydrological and social) and the main 
                         consequences on the forest structure and ecology of animal and 
                         plant species.",
