ResumoConhecer a morfometria de uma espécie e descrever suas relações auxilia no planejamento e uso sustentável da floresta. O trabalho objetivou analisar relações morfométricas, a fim de ajustar modelos que representem 121 árvores de Araucaria angustifolia amostradas em dois sítios em São José do Cerrito, Planalto Catarinense. Foram mensurados: diâmetro à altura do peito (Dap), altura (h), altura de inserção de copa (hic), raio de copa (rc), comprimento de copa (cc), diâmetro de copa (dc), índice de abrangência (IA), índice de saliência (IS), grau de esbeltez (GE), formal de copa (FC), proporção de copa (Pc%) e a posição sociológica (PS) de cada indivíduo. Foi usada correlação de Person para avaliar as relações entre variáveis morfométricas. Empregou-se a análise de covariância para verificar diferença de nível e inclinação nos ajustes dos modelos para os sítios. O ajuste dos modelos foi realizado pelos modelos lineares generalizados (MLG) nos campos de distribuição gama e normal, função de ligação identidade e logarítmica para correlações maiores ou iguais a 0,7. A análise de covariância demonstrou diferenças nas relações para cada sítio, indicando o ajuste de equações distintas. As equações demonstraram variações nas relações morfométricas pela mudança formadimensão de cada árvore. Os resultados mostram a modificação na forma da copa, a partir da posição social de cada árvore, além da influência diamétrica e do espaço ocupado por cada árvore na floresta, competição e condições do sítio. As relações morfométricas estabelecidas foram importantes para explicar a dinâmica de crescimento da espécie e a aplicação de intervenções silviculturais.

Knowing the morphometry of a species and describing its relations help us in the planning and in the sustainable use of the forest. The objective of this study was to analyze morphometric relationships in order to fit models representing 121 Araucaria angustifolia trees sampled at two sites in São José do Cerrito, Planalto Catarinense. The measures were: diameter at breast height (Dap), height (h), crown insertion height (hic), crown radius (rc), crown length (cc), crown diameter (dc), slenderness index (IS), degree of slenderness (GE), formal cup (HR), crown ratio (Pc%) and sociological position (PS) of each individual. Person correlation was used to evaluate the relationships between morphometric variables. The covariance analysis was used to verify difference of level and slope in the adjustments of the models for the sites. The fit of the models was done by generalized linear models (MLG) in the gamma and normal distribution fields, identity and logarithmic link function for correlations greater than or equal to 0.7. The covariance analysis showed differences in the relations for each site, indicating the adjustment of different equations. The equations showed variations in morphometric relationships due to the sh...

O uso das tecnologias no contexto escolar tem a finalidade de desenvolver no aluno melhores condições de aprendizado e conhecimento, assimilação do conteúdo de forma mais clara, objetiva e consistente. Assim, esse estudo objetivou reunir e analisar, por meio de uma revisão de literatura, a utilização da tecnologia na educação, sua evolução histórica e aplicação nos diferentes níveis de ensino. Sabe-se que o desenvolvimento das tecnologias no sistema educacional promoveu a modernização do ensino, otimizando os processos educativos para melhorar a aprendizagem através das mudanças, as quais consistem em um desafio para a educação até os dias atuais. Além disso, os recursos disponibilizados pela tecnologia digital constituem-se num importante método para que as pessoas com deficiência se tornem sujeitos ativos no processo de construção de conhecimento. No entanto um dos maiores problemas está na inserção dessas tecnologias, no momento certo e de maneira adequada, bem como, a formação continuada de docentes.

Crown efficiency is a relation of growth with the area tree occupies (available area efficiency). Efficiency is associated with the vertical and lateral expansion capacity of the tree and crown, increase, density and light absorption. Thus, our study aimed to evaluate crown efficiency with pine cones∙tree-1 production and dendro/morphometric variables of individual araucaria trees in three forest sites in south Brazil. In each site of each tree, dendrometric and morphometric variables were measured and increment rolls were taken at the breast height diameter level. Together with these data, the morphometric indexes, annual periodic increment in diameter of the last ten years (APId) and efficiency of the crown as a function of APId by the horizontal projection area of the crown (hpac) and number of pine cones∙tree-1 (np) by hpac were calculated. Crown efficiency was modeled as a function of the independent variables hpac, APId, crown length (cl), crown ratio (cr) and np. The accuracy of the adjustment was evaluated by the statistics of the deviance, Akaike’s information criterion and graph of the residuals. The results show that the number of pine cones∙tree-1 increases with annual periodic increment in diameter and diameter. Crown efficiency decreases with increasing hpac, cl and cr, indicating silvicultural treatments should be performed with the removal of trees of larger diameter and crown size. A higher pine cones production and efficiency correlates with forest growth, shape, competition, sociological position (stratum tree occupies) and density.

The establishment of appropriate standards related to the physiological and morphological aspects of the seeds are fundamental procedures to help the nurserymen and seed producers in determining the maturity and the appropriate moment of collection of the fruits. In this sense, the objective of this research is to evaluate the physiological maturation of seeds of Parapiptadenia rigida by means of germination and vigor tests, based on the color of the pods. The seeds were collected in June 2017, from three matrices located in the municipality of Marechal Cândido Rondon, Paraná, Brazil. The pods were classified in four stages of maturation, according to the Chart of colors model “Munsell colors chart” for plants tissues, and measured the biometric parameters. The parameters observed to evaluate the germinative potential are: first germination count, germination velocity index, emergency velocity index, and fresh and dry matter masses of seedlings. The experimental design was completely randomized, with five maturation stages and four replicates of 25 seeds each. The averages were compared using the Tukey test at a 5% probability. The germination test showed that the increase in physiological potential of P. rigida seeds is associated with the progresses of pod maturation. Therefore, the vigor test demonstrated that the physiological maturation of the species is simultaneous with the change of coloration and maturation of the pods.

Aspectos gerais e silviculturais de Cordia americana, Aspidosperma polyneuron, Toona ciliata e Khaya spp. ABSTRACTBrazil has a great diversity of forest species; however, the stands contain mostly species of Eucalyptus and Pinus. Faced with this, the present study is based on the analysis of the characteristics of native species with high potential and innovative character of timber species for cultivation. The Australian cedar (Toona ciliata) and African mahogany (Khaya spp.) are important species, mainly benefiting in reducing the exploitation of native forests remaining in the country. However, the species of (Cordia Americana) and (Aspidosperma polyneuron) show great potential yet to be explored, both in releasing commercial plantations and their proper use, that meets sustainability requirements.
