Natural Wood Resistance of Mimosa caesalpiniifolia in Field Testing

Abstract: The natural wood resistance of sabiá (Mimosa caesalpiniifolia) was evaluated under field conditions for use in organic agriculture. A total of 97 one-meter length logs with bark and diameter classes (5.0-7.9 and 8.0-11 cm) were fixed (0.4 m) in the soil at a distance of 0.5 m from the edges of a forest fragment in Viana, Espírito Santo, Brazil and evaluated after 5 years and 5 months for their resistance to breaking through the application of manual force. The presence of xylophagous termites and fungi was ver… Show more

“…Além de ser cultivada comercialmente, esta espécie possui estudos avançados sobre o aproveitamento tecnológico da madeira, incluindo a durabilidade natural (Araujo & Paes, 2018), resistência natural ao ataque de cupins xilófagos (Alencar, Paes, Bakke & Silva, 2011) e caracterização e rendimento do carvão (Lins et al, 2020). Nas florestas onde ocorre naturalmente contribui na assimilação de compostos nitrogenados por meio da simbiose com bactérias fixadoras de nitrogênio (Martins et al, 2015) e no fornecimento de recursos alimentares para polinizadores entomológicos (Döhler & Pina, 2017).…”

“…Mimosa caesalpiniifolia Benth. (Fabaceae), popularly known in Portuguese as 'sabiá' or 'sansão docampo', is a forest species native to the Northeast region of Brazil (Dutra et al, 2020), with multiple potentials of use, such as, recomposition of degraded areas (Alves et al, 2004), folk medicine (Albuquerque et al, 2007), production of posts, stakes, lampposts, firewood and coal (Pinto et al, 2016;Avelino et al, 2018;Araujo & Paes, 2018;Araujo et al, 2020;Lins et al, 2020), landscaping and construction of living fences (Araujo & Paes, 2018).…”
