Abstract:RESUMOO objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a idade relativa e o tempo de passagem dos indivíduos de Eremanthus incanus presente em uma área em recuperação, com avaliações periódicas ao longo de 4 anos. Os dados utilizados foram coletados na cidade de Diamantina, MG, por meio de inventários florestais contínuos em uma área de aproximadamente 2,15 hectares, totalizando 9 inventários florestais, os quais foram agrupados em classe de diâmetro de 3 e 5 cm. Foram testados três modelos para estimar o incremento per… Show more
This study aimed to evaluate the growth of Eremanthus erythropappus (DC.) MacLeish submitted to different planting spacing and growth modelling based on the diameter and crown area projection, as well as to identify the best management strategy to be applied to control the competition, period and intensity of thinning. The evaluated planting spacings were: 1.5 × 1.5 m; 1.5 × 2.0 m; 1.5 × 2.5 m and 1.5 × 3.0 m. Diametric growth modelling in function of the age and crown area projection according to the mixed models methodology was efficient and the individual tree modelling allowed for defining a correct thinning prescription for tree plantations in relation to the percentage of removal needed at each spacing, thus permitting the trees to grow free from competition and produce trees with larger diameters.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
