Brazilian National Forest Inventory – a landscape scale approach to monitoring ...
da Luz, Naíssa Batista; Garrastazu, Marilice Cordeiro; Rosot, Maria Augusta Doetzer; Maran, Jéssica Caroline; de Oliveira, Yeda Maria MalheirosThe strategic importance of forest resources, both at the national and global level, as well as the scarcity of reliable qualitative and quantitative information about Brazilian forests are among the motivations that led to the implementation of a new national forest inventory in Brazil (IFN-BR). Beyond traditional field survey through clustered sampling, the IFN-BR incorporates Landscape Sample Units (LSU) as ...
Determining the optimal length of transects for estimating coarse woody debris
Cardoso, Denise Jeton; Vibrans, Alexander Christian; Rezende, Alba Valéria; Pareyn, Frans Germain Corneel; Freitas, Joberto VelosoThe objective of this paper was to evaluate different transect lengths for determination of coarse woody debris on the ground. The data came from 10-meter-long transects, measured during the National Forest Inventory methodology test in the Amazon, Cerrado and Caatinga, and the forest inventory in Santa Catarina State, representing Araucaria Forest and Deciduous Forest. The comparison among the coefficient of v...
Growth acceleration of subtropical tree species through 90 years in an Araucari...
Mattos, Patrícia Póvoa de; Oliveira, Mariana Ferraz; Agustini, Andrea Fernanda; Braz, Evaldo Muñoz; Rivera, Hugo; Oliveira, Yeda Maria Malheiros deAraucaria Forest is considered one of the most important forest formations of Atlantic Forest Biome. Regarding its importance, there is a lack of information about growth dynamics of its forest species. The present study aimed at to estimate the past growth of selected tree species of Araucaria Forest. Dendrochronological analysis was carried out on non-destructive samples of Araucaria angustifolia, Ocotea por...
Rehabilitation practices in a burned Araucaria Forest patch: partial results
Rosot, Nelson Carlos; Dlugosz, Fernando Luís; Rosot, Maria Augusta Doetzer; Kurasz, Gilberto; Oliveira, Yeda Maria Malheiros de OliveiraThis study describes the initial measures taken to reconstitute the forest cover in a burned area of Araucaria Forest by means of planting seeds and seedlings of Araucaria angustifolia (parana pine) and Ocotea porosa (imbuia). The study area is located at the Experimental Station of Caçador, in Caçador, State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Species were systematically arranged in lines and rows over the experimental...
Multiple use forest management: an alternative to the extinction of the Araucar...
Rosot, Maria Augusta DoetzerThis paper advocates the adoption of forest management methods that are consistent with theprinciples of sustainable development and respectful of multiple forest use as a means to efficiently revert thefragmentation process of the Mixed Ombrophylous Forest (FOM) or Araucaria Forest. The problems related to this endangered forest type are discussed within the context of progressive land use changes observed in ...
Growth of Araucaria angustifolia in the Embrapa/Epagri forest reserve, Caçador,...
Mattos, Patricia Póvoa de; Santos, Andreia Taborda dos; Rivera, Hugo; Oliveira, Yeda Maria Malheiros de; Rosot, Maria Augusta DoetzerAraucaria Forest is one of most threatened phyto-physiognomies in the Atlantic Forest domain,presenting great ecological-economical importance. Nevertheless, there are still lacks of knowledge concerning growth and dynamic of important species, as Araucaria angustifolia. The objective of this work was to recover the past growth of Araucaria angustifolia, native from Caçador, SC, Brazil, by measuring growth rin...
Dendrochronology of species from Brazilian Araucaria Forest, Candoi, PR
Mattos, Patricia Póvoa de; Santos, Andreia Taborda dos; Oliveira, Yeda Maria Malheiros de; Rosot, Maria Augusta DoetzerIn the present work the dendrochronological potential of six species of the Araucaria Forest is analyzed. The trunks of 20 trees were collected in Candoi, State of Parana, Brazil, from an area that belongs toELEJOR, Centrais Elétricas do Rio Jordão, for the following species: Araucaria angustifolia, Clethra scabra, Cedrela lilloi, Ocotea porosa, Podocarpus lambertii and Sebastiania commersoniana (3 to 6, from e...
