Tree climbing techniques and volume equations for Eschweilera (Matá-Matá), a hy...
Gimenez, Bruno Oliva; dos Santos, Leandro T.; Gebara, Jonas; Celes, Carlos Henrique Souza; Durgante, Flávia Machado; Lima, Adriano José NogueiraThe Eschweilera genus has great ecological and economic importance due to its wide abundance in the Amazon basin. One potential use for the Eschweilera genus is in forest management, where just a few trees are removed per hectare. In order to improve the forest management in the Amazon, this study assessed two critical issues: volume equations fitted for a single genus and the development of a non-destructive m...
Windthrows increase soil carbon stocks in a central Amazon forest
dos Santos, Leandro T.; Marra, Daniel Magnabosco; Trumbore, Susan Elizabeth; Camargo, Plínio Barbosa de; Negrón-Juárez, Robinson I.Windthrows change forest structure and species composition in central Amazon forests. However, the effects of widespread tree mortality associated with wind disturbances on soil properties have not yet been described in this vast region. We investigated short-term effects (7 years after disturbance) of widespread tree mortality caused by a squall line event from mid-January of 2005 on soil carbon stocks and con...
