“…Due to its aggressiveness and high competitiveness for solar radiation and soil nutrients, whenever an area is converted with this exotic grass for cattle grazing, it is difficult to revert to its original condition with native vegetation. Therefore, its presence in ES-1 and ES-2 sites is one of the main causes of the high mortality rate observed in most seedlings [77,78]. Urban expansion, spread of croplands, commercial tree plantation with Eucalyptus and Pinus, and higher cost of seedlings and maintenance of native trees are additional issues deterring municipal authorities and farmers from sustainable reforestation practices.…”

The construction of hydropower plants often requires the flooding of large land areas, causing considerable alterations in the natural environment. In the region surrounding the reservoir of the Corumbá IV hydroelectric plant, located in the Cerrado region of Central Brazil, two types of soil predominate, classified as Dystroferric Red Latosol and Dystroferric Haplic Cambisol. The plant owners have to restore the degraded biome after the flooding of the margins caused by the filling of the reservoir. An experiment was carried out with fifteen native species, selected for having ideal phytosociological properties. Nine of them showed a survivability considered satisfactory in a planting situation, with a view to large-scale planting. Assuming that the planting of native fruit trees can be a quick solution to the attraction and preservation of wildlife, it would therefore provide sustainable riparian revegetation around the reservoir. We adopted the SIMOS technique to rank the criteria based on four morphological features and a Fuzzy AHP model to rank the contributions of the nine fruit tree species to the sustainable restoration of part of the riparian vegetation cover around the reservoir. In practical terms, we concluded that the soil types did not have any influence on tree survival after two years of growth, but the native trees’ morphological features varied among the species. These findings simplify the large-scale planting of seedlings that must be carried out by the operator in the riparian forest around the reservoir.

“…Thus, the recovery of degraded areas has become a priority to combat the environmental degradation processes to which natural areas are exposed (Martins, 2007;Fagundes et al, 2018). Given the above, the present study aimed to demonstrate experimentally the possibility of recovering the quality of a soil and provide the basis for recovering an area affected by water erosion on the banks of the Salitre river, tributary of the São Francisco river.…”

Soil physical-hydraulic properties are among the most important indicators for evaluating soil quality. This study aimed to experimentally demonstrate how the construction of terraces can affect physical-hydraulic properties of a soil degraded by water erosion on the banks of the Salitre river, tributary of the São Francisco river. An area in advanced stage of degradation by water erosion was delimited for the construction of a level bench terrace. The experiment was conducted for two years. Soil physical-hydraulic properties were determined before and after terracing. Time-domain reflectometry (TDR) was used to measure soil water storage (mm). This study demonstrated that terracing positively affected soil physical-hydraulic properties in the previously degraded area, allowed the increase in the retention and availability of water in the soil, thus is an ecologically beneficial practice for recovery of degraded soils on the banks of the Salitre river.

“…Triplaris gardneriana Wedd (Polygonaceae), locally known as pajeú, is a deciduous riparian tree [18] with simple, broad, leathery leaves that occurs in different region of Brazil. This species is reported as pioneer, heliophyte and fast growing, showing good features for its use in reforestation and recovery of degraded areas programs [19]. It has been recorded in the Amazon rainforest (Northern region) [20], in the Pantanal wetland in the state of Mato Grosso (central Western region) [21] and the Caatinga in the São Francisco Valley (Northeastern region) [20,22].…”

According to Fagundes et al (2018) [19] seedlings of T. gardneriana displayed a great capacity to survive in a degraded riparian area in the Cerrado (savanna) along the first year of reforestation, demonstrating its great plasticity for inhabit in a heterogeneous environment, because over the years the seedlings faced dry season, even in riparian areas.…”

Physiological responses of Triplaris gardneriana Wedd. seedlings (Polygonaceae) under intermittent drought

et al. 2022

Triplaris gardneriana Wedd is a deciduous riparian tree occurring in areas with different climatic conditions in Brazil, from the rainforest to the tropical dry forest. An increase in global temperature and drought events can change the growth pattern and establishment of the species. To evaluate the effects of intermittent drought on the growth of T. gardneriana seedlings, an experiment was performed using seedlings with one month old subjected to three water treatments (daily irrigation as control, and intermittent drought through cycles of water suppression of seven (S7) and 14 days-intervals (S14) between watering. Growth, biomass production and partitioning, relative water content (RWC), the accumulation of organic solutes, protoplasmic integrity and phenotypic plasticity index (PPI) were evaluated for a better understanding about its drought tolerance level. Intermittent drought severely affected plants growth in S14 plants, showing lower plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, and dry biomass. RWC was reduced, while carbohydrates and proline contents increased in response to drought stress. Protoplasmic damage increased electrolyte leakage in plants subjected to severe stress. However, T. garderiana demonstrated moderate tolerance to water deficit. The plastic changes observed were more physiological than morphological. Therefore, T. gardneriana seems to be a moderately tolerant species to intermittent drought.
