The F AP AR dataset has spatial resolution of 0.1 °xO.1 o and temporal resolution of 10 days for the period 1982 to 1999. The data were investigated considering the seasonal and interannual variations for phytoecological regions of the country. The FAPAR results show: the largest values were observed in Evergreen Broadleaf Forests (Dense and Open) and Campinarana, the lesser amplitude of variation of FAPAR occur in Savanna and Savanna-Steppe, due to adaptation to environmental changes. Analyses of F AP AR demonstrate that ecosystems with ali strata and structured soil have higher values. Even though, the preliminary results confirm that exists evidences ofrelation between the behavior of the FAPAR and weather conditions. The ENSO events have influence on interannual variations of FAPAR, mainly in the North and Northeast. Furthermore, the discussion presents that the FAPAR has potential to be used as an indicator of the photosynthetic process and consequently in the monitoring ofprimary production.  aweather  aA VHRR  aF AP AR  aPhytoecological regions  aRegiões fitoecológicas  aTempo1 aFRANÇA.
