Average wood density of 38-year-old Cariniana legalis (Mart.) Kuntze, a Brazilian native forest species, was found to increase with faster growth and lower stocking, while decreasing from pith bark. A complete randomised block design planted five blocks. Ten trees were harvested in each three spacing treatments. We hypothesised that the stand stemwood production would not significantly differ depending on tree spacing. However, be higher wider narrower The diameter at 3 m × 2.5 than 2 1.5 m....
Fertilization is commonly used to increase growth in forest plantations, but it may also affect tree water relations and responses drought. Here, we measured changes biomass, transpiration, sapwood-to-leaf area ratio (As :Al ) sap flow driving force (ΔΨ) during the 6-year rotation of tropical plantations Eucalyptus grandis under controlled conditions for throughfall potassium (K) fertilization. K fertilization increased final height by 8 m. Throughfall exclusion scarcely affected functioning...
We hypothesized that the nitrogen-fixing tree Acacia mangium could improve growth and nitrogen nutrition of non-fixing species such as Eucalyptus. measured N-mineralization respiration rates soils sampled from plots covered with Acacia, Eucalyptus or native vegetation at two tropical sites (Itatinga in Brazil Kissoko Congo) laboratory. used a bioassay to assess N bioavailability eucalypt seedlings grown without chemical fertilization for least 6 months. At each site, seedling followed same...
Abstract Aims Fine roots are essential components of the below‐ground layer and play an important role in carbon cycle. Methods for root extraction biomass estimation have been proposed, including temporal prediction method. However, there doubts if best model to estimate total mass varies between study sites. Additionally, no records regarding method's efficiency shorter collection times than 40 min. Here, we aim clarify these doubts. Location Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We extracted 1080...
<title>Abstract</title> Smallholder<italic> Eucalyptu</italic>s plantations (EP) in Madagascar Central Highlands (MCH) address substantial fuelwood demand and reduce pressure on natural forests. However, their sustainability is challenged by low soil fertility inadequate management. While fertilization increases tree growth, high mineral fertilizer costs limit its use smallholder farmers. Both biomass estimating equation impact of EP MCH remain poorly documented. This study aimed to evaluate...
