abstract = "Brazil has the major area of tropical forest and carbon stocks of
the Amazon. There are plenty biomass distribution analysis with
great difference between them, that make impossible to determine
which is closer to the reality. IPCC (2006) recommends a biomass
stratification at different levels of complexities (tiers), tier 1
requires IPCC default assumptions, methods and data; tier 2
requires detailed country specific strata, methods, assumptions
and data. Thus, the aim of the study was to compare the carbon map
of the Brazilian Amazon at IPCC tier 1 with the tier 2 carbon map
used in Brazil`s Second National Communication to the UNFCCC and
suggest the improvements that can be made. We started analyzing
the forest biomass stratification and the emission factors (carbon
estimates) to get tier 1 and tier 2 maps. As the biomass
distribution of tier 2 MCT (2010) results in quadrants because of
the RADAM Volumes extrapolation, an alternative tier 2 carbon map
was elaborated using the mean biomass of the RADAM plots of each
forest stratum. Tier 1 map simplified a more complex reality
comparing to MCT (2010) tier 2 map with more detail and number of
stratums. The alternative tier 2 carbon map had better carbon
stocks distribution, even though future studies and an uncertainty
analyses are needed to compare, validate and improve the MCT
(2010) tier 2 approach and thus get a consistent carbon map for
the Brazilian Amazon.",
