The Atlantic Forest is a global hotspot for the conservation of biodiversity due to its richness of species and endemism, however, human actions threaten and unbalance the dynamics of the natural processes of the biome. Thus, with the objective of contributing to studies on conservation in tropical forests, the present study investigated the behavior of the projection in diameter and height, using regression tools and artificial intelligence, with the influence of competition indexes in a fragment of forest. semideciduous season in the area of the Atlantic Forest Biome in southeastern Brazil. The analyzes were carried out according to the classification in ecological groups and regarding the requirement for light. Four regression models were fitted, two to estimate the diameter (DBH) and two to estimate the height (H). In the process of learning the networks, the four best Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were selected, in which each ANN simultaneously estimated the variables DAP and H. Among the selected networks, the best ANN was defined in order to contrast with the results of the models validated. From the precision statistics and graphical analysis, it was concluded that projecting dendrometric growth by RNA was more efficient than by traditional models.
