BIOMES BIOMASS

Not all forest typologies of Cerrado and Caatinga has all the requisites of forest definition.However, these ecosystem are used as forest- timber extraction, pulp, seed production, etc.So forest definition could include vegetation types that are not forest.FAO and Brazils National Forest Service consider some Cerrado and Caatinga physiognomies
