Adaptations to climate change rely on understanding the dynamics of plant biomass stocks planet. The high levels deforestation in Cerrado have transformed this biome into second-largest Brazilian source carbon emissions. objective study was develop a method accurately estimate aboveground and total values among shrublands, savannas, forests located biome, using an allometric equation adjusted from canopy height, obtained through optical laser sensors. results show similarity between estimates employed by our data found literature review for different phytophysiognomies biome. Shrubland formations showed higher estimation uncertainties due discontinuity isolated trees lower height when compared more clustered tree canopies savannas taller forests. Aboveground were related expansion factors, specific maps developed each compartment root, litter, necromass. sum these compartments is presented below forest map. This presents, first time, mapping 10 m pixels all regions
