The management of pasture plays an important role in the balance between biomass production and its regrowth so that the determination of biomass production is fundamental information to perform the adjustment of the number of animals. There are direct and indirect methods to obtain forage biomass in pastures. Generally the most used are direct methods, where there is the cutting of all forage present in a known area frame, and this requires the help of a variety of tools, requiring infrastructure, labor with long-term fieldwork. Remote sensing is an indirect way to determine biomass in pastures, which has a significant potential to monitor vegetation dynamics, besides predicting events such as the beginning or peak of vegetation growth. One of the ways to monitor the vegetation is through the use of vegetation indexes. There are several vegetation indexes, but soil adjusted vegetation index (SAVI) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) are the most used in studies on pastoral ecosystems. Remote sensing used for pasture evaluation can contribute with relevant and complementary information on forage production, as well as the growth behavior of the forage plant, allowing to obtain information on large scales.  aBiomass  aBrazil  aEcosystems  aForage  aGrasslands  aPastures  aRemote sensing  aSemiarid soils  aSilvopastoral systems  aSensoriamento Remoto  aAgricultural disasters  aBiophysical modeling  aDesastre ambiental  aEnvironmental disasters  aEnvironmental modelling  aFluorescência  aÍndice espectral  aLivestock analysis  aPastoral  aPastoral ecosystem  aSpectral vegetation indices1 aCAVALCANTE, A.
