The mathematical modeling of energy and mass exchange in the vegetation-atmosphere interaction is treated by combining the analysis of the differential equations representing air properties conservation (temperature, humidity) and local energy budget equation of vegetative medium. Fluxes, sources, temperature and humidity profiles were calculated by the matrix form of discrete differential equations. Radiative transfers are defined in the model, considering the vegetation as a turbid medium, where the vegetal surfaces are distributed randomly in the space. The results produced by the model for a forest are compared with micrometeoro-logical measurements obtained at Reserva Florestal Ducke, Manaus - AM.
