This study aimed to evaluate survival and development of epiphytic cactus Rhipsalis lindbergiana K. Schum. and R. pachyptera Pfeiff. Fragments were monitored in a greenhouse, for four months on different substrates and after relocation to regenerating Ombrophilous Dense forest, in Itaboraí, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The relocation was monitored for up to three years and carried out in two climatic periods: lower ...
The presence of weeds in stands aiming at forest restoration can cause harn, as they can compromise the growth of tree species. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of crowning with cardboard disks to control Urochloa spp. at forest restoration. The survival and growth of eight native tree species and the maintenance costs of manual crowning (T1) and the use of cardboard disks (T2) were eva...
The objective of this study was to assess the possible existence of allelopathy and competition for water and nutrients of the grass Urochloa brizantha (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) Stapf cv. Marandu grown together with Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi in a greenhouse. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial scheme with 3 factors and the following levels: (1) one individual of the forest species ...
The aim of this study was to compare mycorrhizal infection and quality indicators of Calophyllum brasiliense and Anandenanthera colubrina var. cebil seedlings from Pantanal Wetland Biome, Brazil, produced in non-fumigated substrate under combined inoculation with Glomus clarum (Gc) + Gigaspora margarita (Gm). Seedlings were produced from seeds of local populations seeds, inoculated and non-inoculated with Gc + ...
The Atlantic Forest is reduced to less than 20 % of its original area, but it still protects an important biological heritage. Forest fragmentation makes the environment more susceptible to invasive species occupation. Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) was introduced into Brazil in the seventeenth century; and in the second half of the twentieth century, its natural regeneration increased the density of indi...
As práticas da queima, aplicação de vinhaça e fertilizante nitrogenado são comuns na cultura de cana-de-açúcar. No entanto, estudos de longa duração são pouco encontrados na literatura. Neste trabalho, realizado na Usina Cruangi, Timbaúba, PE, transição entre a Zona da Mata e o Agreste daquele Estado, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da aplicação de N (80 kg ha-1 na forma de uréia), da vinhaça (80 m3 ha-1) e da qu...
Phenological studies can support actions of seed collection and recovery of degraded areas, contributing to the conservation of forest species. This study aimed to understand the timing of flowering and fruiting of 21 native tree species in fragmented area of Atlantic Forest in Itaboraí, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. Ninety one trees were monitored monthly, from January to December of 2011. Most species flowere...
Coffee is a crop with high economical importance to Brazil. It is cultivated on about 2,4 millions hectares spread in almost all the country. Nitrogen fertilizers are routinely used by coffee growers and alternatives to reduce their applications are important. In this study, coffee plants (Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehn) intercroped with gliricídia (Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud.) and banana (Musa p...
