This study aimed to evaluate and compare the seasonal and spatial profiles of soil temperature (ST) in the biomes of the Amazon Forest and Atlantic Forest, using the wavelet transform. In the Amazon rainforest were used the data from the year 2009. In the Atlantic Forest used up to year 2010 data. The results showed that the ST in the Amazon rainforest shows little variation in time with temperature range below 5 ° C. In the rainforest, this exhibited high thermal amplitude throughout the year, more than 10 ° C. The wavelet transform showed that the variability of ST is defined by multi-scale time: 24 hours for both biomass, 8 to 16 days for Amazon and 4 to 16 days to Atlantic forest.
