SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF A POPULATION OF Pentaclethra macroloba (Willd.) KUNTZE IN A FLOODPLAIN FOREST OF THE AMAZON ESTUARY1

Abstract: We analyzed the spatial distribution pattern of Pentaclethra macroloba to assist in the development of management plans and conservation of this species in estuarine floodplain forests. The study was conducted in an area of floodplain forest of 55.94 ha, in Mazagão, Amapá, Brazil. A census was performed and all individuals of ≥ 30 cm circumference at breast height (CBH), living and dead, were georeferenced. Ripley’s K function was used to analyze the spatial distribution of the population, including mortality … Show more

“…In the La Selva Forest Reserve, Costa Rica, P. macroloba is gap colonist and it was shown to depend on canopy gaps to reach the forest canopy (Brandani et al, 1988). The pattern of diametric distribution here corroborates other studies in different parts of the Amazon estuary (Dantas et al, 2017) and in Central America where P. macroloba is monodominant (Galván et al, 2003).…”

The pattern of diametric distribution here corroborates other studies in different parts of the Amazon estuary (Dantas et al, 2017) and in Central America where P. macroloba is monodominant (Galv an et al, 2003). Although the adult trees present a log-normal distribution pattern, the natural regeneration shows a very stable and auto-regenerative structure, with its inverted "J" distribution pattern (Miranda et al, 2018).…”

“…With a height of approximately 14 m, it has a dense canopy and straight to twisted trunk. It is verrucose in green and gray tones, with elliptical lenticels and its base is formed of small buttresses (Lorenzi, 2009;Dantas et al 2017).…”
