Abstract:Background:We analyzed if C. lusitanica can be planted in a shelterwood system with P. taeda as the shelter stratum. The study was conducted in a 13-yr-old C. lusitanica stand under P. taeda canopy in Southern Brazil. Samples of these trees were measured in terms of diameter at breast height (DBH), total height, individual volume, and crown projection area. The species´ growing space efficiency (GSE) was also analyzed. A 10-meters distance criterion from P. taeda trees was applied to check their influence on C… Show more
