Informative videos
The IFFSC has a vast amount of information about the forests of Santa Catarina. To enable the public to access and consult this information, the IFFSC has used online resources and developed products and tools to make its data available.
In order to educate and train the public to use the IFFSC data query tools, we will publish in this section a series of informative videos. In the videos we will explain, for example, about phytosociological indices and indicators, use of Sinflor to generate phytosociological calculations by forest type and geographic limit (municipalities and others), consultation of floristic information on virtual platforms, obtaining data from the mapping of use from the land of MonitoraSC, as well as providing an overview of our website and the IFFSC books.
