Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a homogeneidade das amostras de solo das árvores nativas plantadas há 20 anos na Floresta Estadual de Batatais em comparação com outros usos/ocupação. Ao longo da projeção da copa de oito espécies nativas foram coletadas amostras compostas de solo na profundidade 0-0,20 m, que foram avaliadas junto com o solo de outros estudos com árvores de progênies de Eucalyptus pellita, de E. tereticornis e do plantio comercial de Pinus caribaea hondurensis e P. c. bahamensis. A análise multivariada dos atributos do solo das espécies nativas restou não significativa, indicando a homogeneidade do solo na área de estudo, restando a expressão genética das espécies para outras variáveis dendrométricas e de qualidade da madeira a serem estudadas. Por outro lado, a análise multivariada das espécies nativas com as de Eucalyptus e Pinus resultaram altamente significativas, mostrando que existe diferença dos atributos do solo em relação aos diferentes usos/ocupações. Os Eucalyptus apresentam maior teor de bases que o Pinus e o Florestamento, em áreas com menor acidez potencial e maior capacidade de troca de cátions (CTC), restando à área com Florestamento maior acidez potencial e menor CTC.
In a provenance and progeny test of Eucalyptus pellita, installed with seeds from 25 open-pollinated progenies from Helenvale and Coen in Australia, one individual from each progeny of the two provenances was selected. Height and DBH measurements were taken forming three diameter classes. From the felled trees, a 0.10 m disk was collected at the base of each tree to obtain samples, considering the pith, intermediate and bark positions, to evaluate the density at 12% moisture ( 12), fiber length (Fl), and fiber wall thickness (Fwt). In the canopy projections, soil samples were collected for chemical analysis. The samples were processed based on the standard methodology for anatomy and wood properties. Factor analysis did not group the soil variables with those of dendrometry, indicating no significant effect between these sets of variables. On the other hand, multivariate analysis indicates that Fwt in the intermediate position was influenced by groups of soil variables that comprise both F1 and F2 factors. Thus, we can infer that the higher values of Fwt (I) are related to lower Ca, Mg and pH and lower values of P, organic matter and cation exchange capacity. By showing statistical significance in the analyses, these results suggest that Helenvale should be chosen for vegetative reproduction (cloning) of the material that makes up the Batatais Forest collection based on the wood quality variables studied.
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.
