“…The indicators to measure competitiveness can be absolute or relative. Absolute indices compare a country's competitive performance with that of its competitors in the global trade of the respective products, while relative indices measure the relationship between the performance of the sector in question and the performance of other sectors in the same country (Petrauski et al, 2012). We evaluated Brazilian competitiveness and identifi ed the forest products that perform best in global trade with the following indicators: revealed comparative advantage (RCA), contribution to trade balance index (CTB), and terms of trade (TOT).…”

“…In forest science literature, global competitiveness has been assessed by the following authors: Carvalho et al (2009) analyzed Brazilian wood pulp and its main competitors; Petrauski et al (2012) examined Brazilian timber; Soares and Silva (2013) The Brazilian forestry sector nevertheless has many management barriers to overcome and requires more market knowledge and public policies to mobilize the production of forest products. Despite the advances made and the growth of forest product exports, problems exist hindering the competitiveness of the forest products supply chain.…”

This article aims to analyze Brazil’s global competitiveness in the exportation of forest products from 2008 to 2018. Data on importation and exportation were obtained from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations - FAO, while Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Contribution to Trade Balance (CTB), and Terms of Trade (TOT) were the indicators used to measure international trade. The main results show that Brazil has a positive trade balance for forest products, mainly for wood pulp exports. Brazil’s RCA for forest products was classified as moderate to strong. As for the forest product groups, it was strong for wood pulp, weak to moderate for wood panels, weak for paper and paperboard, weak to nonexpressive for timber, and non-expressive for industrial roundwood and wood fuel. Based on Brazil’s CTB, all the forest product groups have a comparative advantage, except wood fuel. Brazil’s TOT was strong for wood panels, timber, industrial roundwood, wood pulp, in order from most to least expressive. In conclusion, Brazilian exports have comparative advantages and are competitive in the international market.

“…The demand for hardwood has increased greatly and commercial plantations of these species are not being managed to keep up with the rhythm in the market growth (Petrauski et al, 2012). Thus, in order to meet the hardwood demand, it has become necessary to increase commercial plantations of native and exotic species and adopt management practices that ensure efficiency and high yield in the forests plantations (Ciriello et al, 2014).…”

African mahogany is an exotic specie and its cultivation has increased in Brazil due to the high value of its timber on the international market. Nutrition with nitrogen is an important factor for species with high biomass production and specific studies on this species are essential. The present study aimed to assess the initial growth of African mahogany plants submitted to nitrogen fertilization. The experiment was set up and carried out in a greenhouse, with 7 dm3 plastic pots using a oxisoil sampled from the surface layer. A completely randomized experimental design was used with five treatments and six replications. The treatments consisted of five N levels: 0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 mg dm-3, using urea as the source. The following were assessed at 180 days: height, stem diameter, leaf, stem, root and total dry matter, N content in the leaves in the African mahogany leaves. The African mahogany seedlings had high N demand and responded positively to the N used and the growth variables was positive with increase in N level. However, as it presented increasing linear effect, the N level can not be estimated, that would provide the maximum initial development for this plant species.

“…Brazil has great potential for exploitation of planted forests in most of its territorial extent, as a result of its climate and soil conditions, biodiversity, land and manpower availability, as well as documented technical competence in the field of forestry. The competitiveness of the Brazilian forest sector, which stems from the climatic conditions and from the technology developed by companies and research institutions, places the country at a unique position in the international scene (Ferreira et al, 2012). The Brazilian forestry sector accounts for 3.5% of the gross domestic product (Abraf, 2013).…”

Soil salinity is a major abiotic factor limiting crop production but an amendment with compost, zeolite or unisal may mitigate the effects of salinity stress on plants. The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of compost, zeolite and unisal on growth of barley plant irrigated with diluted seawater. Barley was the grown on a calcareaus soil treated with compst, zeolite and unisal at the rates of 0 , 4, 8 and 12 % and irrigated with seawater diluted to electrical conductivity (EC) levels of 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 dS m-1 while tap water was as the control (EC = 0.44 dS/m. Irrigation with 5.0 and 7.5 dS m-1 saline waters significantly suppressed fresh and dry weight of barely plants. However, a substantial increase in plant biomass of salt stressed barley was observed with the three amendments followed the order, compost > unisal > unisal. The application of compost, zeolite or unisal also enhanced K + , Ca +2 and Mg +2 absorption and decreased Na + , Cl-and SO4 = in barely shoot. Post-harvest soil analysis showed high EC values of soil due to saline water irrigation but concentrations were lower in soils treated with the tested amendments especially zeolite. The overall results indicated that soil amendment with compost or zeolite could effectively ameliorate salinity stress and improve nutrient balance barley plant grown on a calcareous soil.
