Resumo AbstractQuality assessment of Eucalyptus grandis seedlings using morphological parameters. The present work had as objective determines the index of Dickson's quality (IDQ) and its relation to the morphologic variables in Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden seedlings produced in different treatments. The experiment was driven in the agronomic nursery of the Center of Superior Education North of Rio Grande do Sul (CESNORS), in experimental design of randomized complete block. Four treatments were tested, that involved two volumes sizes (50 and 90 cm³) and two levels of density of plants in the tray. It evaluated height of the aerial part, diameter of the lap, mass dries of leaves, mass dries of the stem, mass dries of the aerial part, mass dries of root, mass total drought (MST), foliar area (AF) and the index of Dickson's quality (IDQ). The size of the containers and the density of the seedlings in the tray had significant influence in growth of the seedlings along the time, putting limits to the volume of exploitable substratum and generating competition for space by the plants. All the appraised variables correlated significantly and IDQ revealed high index with MST. The treatments with container of volume 90 cm³ were the ones that presented the best IQD, resulting in seedlings of good quality capable to support the adverse conditions of the field.
RESUMO -Este trabalho teve como objetivo determinar o poder calorífico superior (PCS) das árvores e a massa específica básica ponderada (ρ b pond ) da madeira de Acacia mearnsii De Wild, Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden, Mimosa scabrella Benth e Ateleia glazioviana Baill distribuídas em diferentes espaçamentos em plantio: 2,0 x 1,0 m; 2,0 x 1,5 m; 3,0 x 1,0 m; e 3,0 x 1,5 m, nas idades de 1 e 3 anos. O estudo foi conduzido em um experimento localizado no Município de Frederico Westphalen, RS, em delineamento experimental de blocos completos casualizados com três repetições, no esquema de parcelas subdivididas. A determinação do PCS das árvores foi realizada a partir da ponderação dos valores obtidos em cada compartimento (madeira, casca, galho e folha), por meio de bomba calorimétrica. A determinação da ρ b pond foi realizada a partir da ponderação dos valores verificados dos discos coletados em diferentes posições ao longo do tronco, usando-se o método da balança hidrostática e massa seca. O PCS de todas as espécies no primeiro ano após o plantio foi superior ao do terceiro ano, destacando-se a Acacia mearnsii com as maiores médias. A ρ b pond não apresentou tendência sistemática de aumento ou redução ao longo do tempo e as espécies Acacia mearnsii e Ateleia glazioviana, os maiores valores. Os diferentes espaçamentos de plantio não induziram a variação do PCS e da ρ b pond nas espécies estudadas, não sendo verificada tendência sistemática positiva ou negativa em relação ao espaço vital proporcionado pelo espaçamento.Palavras-chave: Propriedade da madeira; Energia da biomassa; Espaçamento de plantio.

Sugarcane (Sacharum officinarum L.) monocropping has had a great socio-economic and environmental impact in Brazil, and agroforestry systems have been considered as an alternative for more sustainable production; however, there is a lack of field research under such conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth rates, radiation use efficiency and yield traits in sugarcane cultivated in the understory of Aleurites fordii, in two agroforestry arrangements and monocropping systems. A field experiment was conducted from July 2015 to June 2016 in the city of Frederico Westphalen, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The radiation use efficiency, assimilate partitioning, leaf area index, absolute growth rate, net assimilation rate, number of tillers, plant height, % of intercepted solar radiation, extinction coefficient, and yield in each system was evaluated. In agroforestry systems, the dynamic interactions between multiple plant species change with the time and can result in unique microclimates. The use of agroforestry systems in 12 x 12m arrangements should be prioritized because it enables greater yields and radiation availability in the understory. This study sought to provide new sustainable alternatives for farmers in order to increase the diversification of the rural property and maintain the preservation of existing agroecosystems.An Acad Bras Cienc (2018) 90 (4) 3266FELIPE SCHWERZ et al.
RESUMO:Os fatores ambientais, tais como: temperatura do ar, umidade relativa do ar e radiação solar, influenciam no comportamento fisiológico dos vegetais refletindo no seu crescimento e desenvolvimento. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o comportamento fisiológico em mudas de pata-de-vaca ao longo do dia e constatar qual o melhor horário para a realização de determinações de trocas gasosas. Para tanto, foram realizadas avaliações de temperatura da folha, radiação fotossinteticamente ativa, resistência estomática e transpiração, utilizando-se um porômetro, das 8:00 às 17:00 horas, em intervalos de uma hora entre as medidas. A espécie apresenta oscilações no seu mecanismo fisiológico em função do horário de avaliação e das condições climáticas, sendo o intervalo mais indicado para a realização de determinações das trocas gasosas das 10:00 às 13:00 horas. Palavras-chave:Estresse hídrico, elementos ambientais, resistência estomática. ABSTRACT: Physiologic relationships in Brazilian OrchidTree (Bauhinia forficata Link) seedlings. Environmental elements, such as air temperature, relative humidity and solar radiation, affect the physiological behavior of plants, which is reflected in their growth and development. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological changes of Brazilian Orchid Tree seedlings over a typical day and find the best time to carry out determinations of gas exchanges. For this end, we evaluated temperature of the leaf, photosynthetically active radiation, stomatal resistance and perspiration, using a porometer, from 8:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m., in intervals of one hour between measurements. The species presents oscillations in its physiologic mechanism in function of the time of evaluation and climatic conditions, being the most suitable interval to determine gas exchanges from 10:00 a.m. to 01:00 p.m.
Soybean (Glycine max L.) monocropping have had a great socioeconomic and environmental impact on the world and agroforestry systems has been considered an alternative for more sustainable production. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different arrangements of agroforestry systems of the species E. urophylla x E. grandis and P. dubium and the pruning of the trees on the dynamics of solar radiation and soybean yield. A field experiment was conducted in Southern Brazil. In order to achieve the objective of the study, the solar radiation transmissivity and the productive performance of the soybean were evaluated. In this study, the soybean yield was determined by the arrangement of the agroforestry system and forest species utilized. The soybean crop cultivated in the understory of the P. dubium trees showed the highest yield response. The use of silvicultural practices for the management of forest species should be considered to generate the balance of the productive system. In this context, tree pruning is a viable side for agroforestry systems, as it promotes an increase in the incidence of solar radiation in the understory, resulting in an increase in soybean yield, especially when integrated with P. dubium.
The objective of this study was to determine the use efficiency intercepted photosynthetically active solar radiation of Hovenia dulcis seedlings grown under different plant density treatments. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the forestry nursery. A complete randomized block design was applied. The study was characterized by two plant densities; high (494 plants m -2 ) and medium (247 plants m -2 ) densities of seedling in the trays, and fifteen evaluation periods that began after first emergence. Evaluations were carried out every 15 days, totaling 210 days, with six replications. The leaf area index, total dry biomass of seedlings, partitioning of dry biomass, interception of global radiation, accumulated intercepted photosynthetically active radiation, and use efficiency of radiation were evaluated. The high density treatments promoted greater use efficiency and accumulation of intercepted photosynthetically active radiation in dry biomass of Hovenia dulcis seedlings. In this work, a model is present for analyzing the growth and development of plants and their relation to both photosynthetic rate and radiation use efficiency.
The objective of this experiment was to determine the conversion efficiency of intercepted photosynthetically active radiation into biomass of Acacia mearnsii De Wild. seedlings. A forest species, plastic tubes (90 cm 3 ), and 11 evaluation periods (up to 180 days after emergence) were used in this study. The leaf area index (LAI), total dry biomass (BIO), global solar radiation (GSR), cumulative intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (PARic), and conversion efficiency of radiation (εb) were determined using a pyranometer (LI200X, LICOR). The value of εb in BIO seedlings of Acacia mearnsii was 7.76 g MJ -1 . LAI was directly related to the efficiency of PARic, and this influenced the development, production potential and accumulation of BIO. The value of GSR flow was 11.81 MJ m -2 day -1 , while the value inside the greenhouse was 6.26 MJ m -2 day -1 .
