The objective of this study was to map the spatial distribution of aboveground carbon stock (using Regression-kriging) of arboreal plants in the Atlantic Forest, Semi-arid woodland, and Savanna Biomes in Minas Gerais State, southeastern Brazil. The database used in this study was obtained from 163 forest fragments, totaling 4,146 plots of 1,000 m2 distributed in these Biomes. A geographical model for carbon stock estimation was parameterized as a function of Biome, latitude and altitude. This model was applied over the samples and the residuals generated were mapped based on geostatistical procedures, selecting the exponential semivariogram theoretical model for conducting ordinary Kriging. The aboveground carbon stock was found to have a greater concentration in the north of the State, where the largest contingent of native vegetation is located, mainly the Savanna Biome, with Wooded Savanna and Shrub Savanna phytophysiognomes. The largest weighted averages of carbon stock per hectare were found in the south-center region (48.6 Mg/ha) and in the southern part of the eastern region (48.4 Mg/ha) of Minas Gerais State, due to the greatest predominance of Atlantic Forest Biome forest fragments. The smallest weighted averages per hectare were found in the central (21.2 Mg/ha), northern (20.4 Mg/ha), and northwestern (20.7 Mg/ha) regions of Minas Gerais State, where Savanna Biome fragments are predominant, in the phytophysiognomes Wooded Savanna and Shrub Savanna.
RESUMO:Conduziu-se este trabalho com o objetivo de testar diferentes estratégias e metodologias de coleta de dados, a fim de realizar ajustes de modelos hipsométricos tradicionais e genéricos para melhor estimar a altura de árvores em plantios de Eucalyptus sp. Foram coletados pares de altura e diâmetro de árvores distribuídas em 36 parcelas, provenientes de plantios pertencentes à empresa Veracel Celulose S.A. Essas foram divididas em diferentes tratamentos conforme idade, região, e combinação de região e idade do plantio, totalizando 14 tratamentos. As metodologias de coleta de dados consistiram na utilização de diferentes números de árvores com medição de altura para formação da base de dados para realização dos ajustes. Foi selecionando como melhor estratégia de ajuste, o modelo de Curtis por parcela e dois modelos genéricos para as diferentes metodologias adotadas, com exceção da metodologia baseada em adição de árvores representativas em todos os quartis diamétricos, que selecionou apenas a estratégia de Curtis por parcela.Palavras-chave: Relação hipsométrica, inventário florestal, modelos tradicionais, modelos genéricos.
STRATEGIES AND METHODOLOGYS FOR ADJUSTMENT OF HYPSOMETRIC MODELS OF
RESUMOO setor florestal brasileiro está em plena expansão e com um aumento gradativo de investidores florestais optando pelo cultivo de espécies de madeira nobre. O mogno africano (Khaya spp.) é uma espécie que vêm se destacando na preferência dos empresários como opção no investimento florestal. Porém, estudos e pesquisas sobre a espécie, principalmente no Brasil, são escassos. Assim, a presente revisão procurou reunir diversas fontes de publicação, nacionais e internacionais, abordando aspectos históricos do mogno, buscando aclarar as características da espécie e a experiência de outros países no manejo dessa cultura.Palavras-chave: mogno africano (Khaya spp.), plantios florestais, manejo florestal.African Mahogany (Khaya spp.) Cultivation and the Increase of the Activity in Brazil
ABSTRACTThe Brazilian forest sector is fast growing with a gradual increase of forest investors choosing valuable hardwood species for tree crops. African mahogany (Khaya spp.) is a species that has been preferred by many entrepreneurs as a forestry investment. However, there are few studies and research on the species, especially in Brazil. Therefore, this review aimed to bring together diverse sources of national and international publications, discussing the history of the mahogany and characteristics of the species as well as the experience of other countries on the management of this crop.
