“…A silvicultura de espécies nativas é uma atividade incipiente no Brasil, quando comparada à de espécies comerciais exóticas (Rorato et al, 2018). No que tange à restauração florestal, restam lacunas relevantes sobre o desempenho de espécies nativas em funções como no controle de espécies exóticas invasoras, na recuperação das propriedades do solo e na atração da fauna (Zahawi et al, 2013).…”

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o crescimento das espécies Senna multijuga, Myrsine coriaceae, Schizolobium parahyba var. parahyba, Inga edulis, I. marginata e Citharexylum myrianthum na recuperação de uma área degradada pela pecuária. O experimento foi desenvolvido na Reserva Natural da Guaricica em Antonina, PR. Foram testados quatro tratamentos com diferentes densidades de indivíduos de cada espécie, cada um com três repetições em blocos de 3.000 m2. A avaliação foi baseada nas variáveis: altura total (h), diâmetro a 1,30 m do solo, área de cobertura da copa, área basal e mortalidade. Com exceção da mortalidade que foi comparada pelo teste de Kruskal-Wallis, as demais variáveis foram comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de significância. I. edulis apresentou o melhor desenvolvimento e I. marginata o pior, enquanto M. coriacea apresentou a menor mortalidade e S. multijuga a maior. Estes resultados se expressaram entre os tratamentos, pois maior densidade de I. edulis gerou maior h média e maior densidade de S. multijuga gerou maior mortalidade. Maiores proporções de I. edulis tendem a aumentar a eficiência de projetos de restauração, enquanto C. myrianthum e M. coriacea também apresentam potencial para plantios na região do estudo.

“…Frost, depending on the intensity, compromises the development of initial plantings (VANONI et al, 2016;TURCHETTO et al, 2020a). Rorato et al (2018b) reported reduced growth of forest species in a forest restoration plantation in the southern tip of the Atlantic Forest Biome. In the present study, it was found that M. scabrella, A. angustifolia, and C. trichotoma managed to resume their growth after frost events, suggesting a certain tolerance to low temperatures.…”

The regularization of rural properties in the molds of the New Forest Code depends on the silvicultural study of the native species of the Brazilian biomes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the initial growth of five native tree species of the Atlantic Forest, with a view to their use in forest restoration projects. The following species were produced in the nursery, planted in the field, and evaluated for performance: Araucaria angustifolia, Mimosa scabrella, Trichilia claussenii, Schizolobium parahyba, and Cordia trichotoma. These species were distributed in two different areas, based on the randomized block experimental design. In experiment 1, the species A. angustifolia, M. scabrella, and C. trichotoma were distributed in three randomized blocks, each composed of 11 plants of each species. In experiment 2, the species A. angustifolia, M. scabrella, T. claussenii, and S. parahyba were distributed in three randomized blocks, each one composed of five plants of each species. In general, S. parahyba and M. scabrella showed faster development than the other species and, in this regard, are promising candidates for forest areas constitution or reconstitution in which there is interest in obtaining economic returns in less time. Araucaria angustifolia and T. claussenii showed relatively low development, whereas C. trichotoma showed intermediate development in relation to the other species studied. Despite their differences in performance, all species proved to be suitable for use in reforestation, mainly in the region where the study was developed.

“…Frost can hamper the restoration of plant communities (Snowcroft & Jeffrey, 1999;Snowcroft et al, 2000;Curran, Reid & Skorik, 2010;Rorato et al, 2018). In this study, we calibrate a cold-air pooling (CAP) model to predict where frost may occur in the complex terrain of the sub-escarpment lowlands of South Africa where subtropical thicket is the dominant vegetation.…”

Restoration of subtropical thicket in South Africa using the plant Portulacaria afra (an ecosystem engineer) has been hampered, in part, by selecting sites that are frost prone—this species is intolerant of frost. Identifying parts of the landscape that are exposed to frost is often challenging. Our aim is to calibrate an existing cold-air pooling (CAP) model to predict where frost is likely to occur in the valleys along the sub-escarpment lowlands (of South Africa) where thicket is dominant. We calibrated this model using two valleys that have been monitored during frost events. To test the calibrated CAP model, model predictions of frost-occurrence for six additional valleys were assessed using a qualitative visual comparison of existing treelines in six valleys—we observe a strong visual match between the predicted frost and frost-free zones with the subtropical thicket (frost-intolerant) and Nama-Karoo shrubland (frost-tolerant) treelines. In addition, we tested the model output using previously established transplant experiments; ∼300 plots planted with P. afra (known as the Thicket-Wide Plots) were established across the landscape—without consideration of frost—to assess the potential factors influencing the survival and growth of P. afra. Here we use a filtered subset of these plots (n = 70), and find that net primary production of P. afra was significantly lower in plots that the model predicted to be within the frost zone. We suggest using this calibrated CAP model as part of the site selection process when restoring subtropical thicket in sites that lie within valleys—avoiding frost zones will greatly increase the likelihood of restoration success.
