GROWTH OF Manilkara huberi AND Manilkara paraensis AFTER LOGGING AND SILVICULTURAL TREATMENTS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF PARAGOMINAS, PARÁ, BRAZIL

Abstract: The effects of silvicultural treatments and logging on the growth rates of Manilkara huberi and Manilkara paraensis in a terra firme natural forest were evaluated. The study was performed in a Forest Management Unit (FMU) located in the municipality of Paragominas, PA. The experimental area covered 500 ha, where five treatments (100 ha each), with four replications per treatment (25 ha each), were established. The replications were randomly distributed in the 500 ha sample area of the FMU. The growth rate of t… Show more

“…Cariniana and Caryocar , with moderate wood densities and relatively high growth rates, can be classified as long living pioneers, which are often site dominant and important timber species in lowland rain forests [9, 65]. In contrast, Manilkara is a typical mature forest tree, due to its high wood density, slow growth and shade tolerance [66]. The latter feature, together with higher growth rates, characterizes the growth strategy of Cariniana .…”

“…The opening of tree fall gaps, as a result of forest management, increases the transmittance of light, creating a more favorable environment for photosynthesis and the radial growth (PRÉVOST; RAYMOND, 2012). In tropical forests, the opening of tree fall gaps, either by the effect of management or by natural decrease, may influence the trees growth, causing intra and interspecific variations (SOUZA et al, 2014). The species can be characterized as elastic or inelastic in function of the ability to respond to changes in the environment (HIGUCHI; HIGUCHI, 2012).…”

“…Sua floração tem início no mês de março e se estende até junho. A frutificação ocorre de maio a outubro e a disseminação ocorre de dezembro a fevereiro (Vieira et al, 2002). Pertence ao grupo ecológico de espécies tolerantes à sombra (Lopes et al, 2001).…”

“…A densidade das espécies avaliadas (Hymenaea parvifolia e Hymenolobium excelsum) pode indicar problemas futuros em relação à sua permanência na área, se a sua regeneração não conseguir se estabelecer. A aplicação de tratamentos silviculturais, como corte de cipós (Souza et al, 2014) e desbaste de liberação de copas, para favorecer a regeneração natural (Wadsworth & Zweede, 2006), condução de mudas (Carvalho et al, 2013) e plantio nas clareiras resultantes da exploração florestal (Reis et al, 2014), são estratégias que podem garantir a conservação dessas espécies na área.…”
