Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) O. Kuntze., also known as brazilian-pine, is a forest native species from Brazil. A. angustifolia is more vulnerable to global climate change, considering it is living in cold and humid mountain regions from southern and southeastern Brazil. Among the native Brazilian forest species, it presents one of the greatest growth and genetic gain potential. It shows excellent wood quali...
Resumo: Existe uma nítida relação entre a qualidade de águas fluviais e a degradação ambiental de bacias hidrográficas. Assim, este trabalho, conduzido na bacia hidrográfica do Alto Capivari, sub-bacia oriental do Alto Ribeira, ao norte da Região Metropolitana de Curitiba, Estado do Paraná, sobre rochas metamórficas e ígneas apresentando setores cársticos, sob clima subtropical úmido e ambiente da Floresta Ombr...
Este trabalho apresenta uma tentativa de avaliar o impacto do sistema agrossilvopastoril na qualidade de água subterrânea numa bacia hidrográfica cárstica, em Colombo, município da região metropolitana de Curitiba. O sistema agrossilvopastoril vigente nesta área é direcionado pela horticultura intensiva voltada para produção comercial, gerando forte incidência de agroquímicos sobre o solo e provavelmente sobre ...
The state of São Paulo has a wide climatic diversity which certainly influences productivity and species adaptation in forest plantations and places for plantation and experimentation must be carefully chosen. The objective of this study was to identify climatically homogeneous regions in the state of São Paulo, based on data collected at several experimental stations of São Paulo State Forest Institute to supp...
Pinus tecunumanii has good adaptation to edafoclimatic regions of Brazil and these pinus have been cultivated on Savanna and Atlantic Forest biomes. The objective of this study was to identify climate homogeneous experimental stations of the Forest Institute of São Paulo and indicate places where it is possible to establish progeny and clone tests for breeding and further commercial plantation of this specie. I...
Grevilea (Grevillea robusta A. Cunn) is a tree species from Australia and was introduced in Brazil in the late 19Th century. New progenies were imported and tested by Embrapa Forestry since the 90s. Currently there is great interest in planting this species in Parana, but so far there is no edafoclimatic or climatic zoning for the species. The criteria that were defined restrictive and favorable to the plantati...
Identifying areas of similar ecological conditions, such as climate, soils and vegetation have many potential uses, since land use planning, including agroforestry planning, to conservation of natural ecosystems. The objective of this study was to produce a climate zoning chart, supported by statistical analysis and also using geomorphological criteria to define the geoclimatic units. As a result of the interpr...
