Anatomy study of wood and dendrochronology of Copaifera multijuga Hayne trees in the Brazilian Amazon and its relation to the management and extraction of oleoresin The aiming of this study was to evaluate which factors affect the sustainability of the production of oil resin extraction in Copaifera multijuga trees such wood anatomical structure and growth rings. Among productive and non-productive trees, it was selected 60 trees from a natural population in the A. Ducke Forest Reserve in Manaus, Amazonas state, Brazil (two distinct groups were chosen 7 and 32 years interval of extractions). For reforested areas 70 trees were chosen in two stands at Tropical Silviculture Station also near Manaus. The oleoresin extraction was monitored during three years in trees of natural populations. It was taken into account DBH, % heartwood, tree ages, time and seasonality. In plantation systems C. multijuga trees were evaluated in relation of their production. From the two study-areas, it was collected radial wood samples in producing and non-producing oilresin trees for wood density (X-ray densitometry), as well anatomical structure of xylem and growth rings. The growth rings were analyzed to study the effect of climatic seasonality, to determine tree ages, the accumulated radial increment and annual rates of tree growth. They also were related to precipitation and temperature of the analyzed period. The results showed that both productive and non-productive trees can generate descendent with these two phenotypes. The oil resin production showed stronger relationship with diameter and % trunk heartwood than age. Interval time between extractions affects directly the production and the best period to collect them is in the rainy season. The oleoresin coloring ranged from colorless to medium brown, with a density of 0,92 g.cm-3 and viscosity of 37,3 MPa/s. Its chemical composition was not associated with age or soil type. β-cariofileno was the major constituent. Trees classified as productive differ to non productive in their wood anatomy only by largest vessel diameters shown in productive trees. All C. multijuga trees produce oleoresin, however not all of them are productive. The oleoresin synthesized in the epithelial cells of the secretory channels is transported and stored in the vessels of the heartwood by the radial parenchyma.The radial profile of wood density of C. multijuga trees allows the demarcation of growth ring limits, indicating a gradual increase in the pith-bark and 0,74 g.cm-3 mean apparent density. Dendrocronological analysis proved that growth rings has been formed annually. It was observed 108 years-old C. multijuga trees in natural population. Precipitation has more influence in tree growth than temperature. Finally, growth ring analysis showed that annual growth increment of trunk radius in natural population and plantations were 0,24 and 0,31 cm, respectively.
