Abstract
Remote sensing and geoprocessing techniques has been enlargement used for environmental studies, in the differents disciplines. The importance of interdisciplinary studies, creating a link with others disciplines, is important not only to environmental characterization, but for the knowing of your dynamics and yours interrelationships with your environment. In this context, here is presented three examples, which used remote sensing and geoprocessing techniques to describe the habitats. Was used digital elevation models of SRTM to extraction of topographic features, such as slope, hipsometry, plan curve, wetness index, potential hydraulic, and topographic profiles, important to ecological studies and others, with goal to describe the environment since biological and physical view point, through remote sensing and geoprocessing.
