Full textO cancro resinoso, provocado pelo fungo Fusarium circinatum, é uma doença que afeta Pinus spp. e Pseudotsuga menziesii em todo o mundo e está sujeita a medidas de quarentena. Caracteriza-se pela formação de grandes cancros resinosos que rodeiam rebentos, ramos e troncos e levam à morte do hospedeiro. Até à data não existem meios para o controlo da doença e, com a crescente necessidade de reduzir o uso de fungicidas, outras abordagens devem ser estudadas. Um método para o controlo de doenças fitopatogénicas passa pela indução da resistência do hospedeiro, através do pré-tratamento de plantas com compostos químicos ou de origem biológica que estimulam as defesas. O fosfito (Phi) é um sal inorgânico que apresenta a capacidade de indução da resistência e uma potencial estratégia mais amiga do ambiente. Neste estudo, a utilização do fosfito de potássio (KPhi) na redução do desenvolvimento dos sintomas da doença do cancro resinoso, assim como os seus efeitos no crescimento do fungo, foram estudados em diferentes concentrações. Numa primeira fase, colónias de F. circinatum foram crescidas em PDA suplementado com Phi (0%, 1% e 4%) para avaliação do seu efeito no crescimento radial. Posteriormente foram estudados os efeitos da aplicação foliar de Phi (0%, 1% e 4%) em plântulas de Pinus radiata, inoculadas e não inoculadas. A taxa de sobrevivência e a performance fisiológica (potencial hídrico, trocas gasosas e performance fotoquímica, pigmentos, peroxidação lipídica, libertação de eletrólitos, prolina e carbohidratos) foram avaliados. Os resultados mostram que aplicação de Phi atrasa o desenvolvimento dos sintomas de doença numa forma dependente da concentração de Phi, em semelhança ao observado relativamente à inibição do crescimento do micélio in vitro. Alterações fisiológicas ao nível da prolina e carbohidratos, peroxidação lipídica e trocas gasosas foram observadas. A aplicação de Phi apresenta-se como uma potencial alternativa viável na gestão da doença do cancro resinoso.
The pitch canker, caused by the fungus Fusarium circinatum, is a disease under quarantine measures affecting Pinus spp. and Pseudotsuga menziesii worldwide. Characterized by the formation of large resinous cankers that girdle shoots, branches, and trunks, leads to the death of the host. To date, there are no means for the control of the pitch canker and, with the growing need to reduce the use of fungicides, another approaches must be studied. A method for the control of phytopathogenic diseases is the enhancement of host resistance, through pre-treatment of seedlings with chemicals or biologically derived compounds that stimulate defense responses. Phosphite (Phi) is an inorganic salt with the capability of inducing host resistance and presents an approach more environmentally friendly. In this study, the ability of potassium phosphite (KPhi) in delaying the pitch canker symptom development, as well as its effects in fungal growth, were studied at different concentrations. In a first phase, F. circinatum colonies were grown in PDA medium supplemented with Phi (0%, 1% and 4%) to evaluation in the radial growth of the fungus. Posteriorly, were studied the effects of foliar application of Phi (0%, 1% and 4%) in Pinus radiata seedlings, inoculated and non-inoculated. Survival and physiological performance (water potential, gas exchange and photochemical performance, pigments, lipid peroxidation, electrolyte leakage, proline and carbohydrates) were assessed. Results showed that Phi application delayed disease symptoms in a dose dependent manner similarly to what was observed in mycelial growth inhibition during in vitro assays. Physiological alterations in proline, carbohydrates, lipid peroxidation and gas exchange parameters were observed. Thus, Phi application presents a potential viable alternative to the management of the pitch canker disease.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study aimed to classify wood from trees that were exposed to forest fires with regards to their end use. Exposure to high temperatures over time is known to degrade wood in various ways. This degradation could limit the end use by altering mechanical, chemical and physical properties, leading to difficulty in processing or failing to meet required specifications for various grades. In this study wood from Pinus radiata trees that were exposed to forest fires of different levels of heat intensity was analysed with regards to its anatomical and physical changes. Trees were visually classified into three classes of burn severity. Moisture content measurements were taken from 135 standing trees, divided among the three classes. 30 trees, 10 from each of the three classes, were sampled and used for CT analysis. Samples were taken to include growth from before and after the fire. Two samples were taken from each tree, one from the charred and one from the uncharred side. The CT data was analysed and used to measure properties like growth ring width, cell wall thickness, lumen diameter and cell wall density. The data was used to compare properties from the charred and uncharred sides within a given year, as well as compare properties between years. The study showed that there were significant differences in the MC between the burnt and unburnt sides of trees from classes 2 and 3. The difference between the MC measurements on the burnt sides of three classes differed significantly from each other. Lightness measurements were taken on samples from classes 2 and 3. These samples showed no significant difference between the burnt and unburnt sides for either of the two classes. The samples from the less exposed class were lighter, but not significantly so. The macroscopic wood density was determined using core samples. A decrease in wood density was observed with an increase in fire exposure. The mean densities for all three classes however still fulfilled the requirements for structural timber set by the SABS. Growth ring width, cell wall thickness and lumen diameter analysis gave varied results, with some cases showing a decline in properties while others were seemingly unaffected. For many of the outcomes of this study, results found by previous studies could not be reproduced.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie het gepoog om bome wat aan plantasiebrande blootgestel is volgens hul eindgebruik te klassifiseer. Dit is bekend dat blootstelling aan hoë tempreature hout in vele maniere afbreuk. Hierdie afbreuking kan die eindgebruik van die hout beperk deur die meganiese, fisiese en chemiese eienskappe sodanig te verander dat dit kan lei tot probleme met verwerking of ongeskiktheid vir sterktegrade. In hierdie studie is Pinus radiata bome wat aan plantasiebrande van verskillende grade blootgestel is ondersoek in terme van hul fisiese en anatomiese veranderinge. Bome is visueel in drie klasse van verskillende brandskade gegroepeer. Voglesings is op 135 staande bome, verdeel tussen die drie klasse, geneem. Monsters is van 30 bome, 10 uit elke klas, geneem vir CT analiese. Monsters is so geneem dat dit groei van voor en na die brand ingesluit het. Daar is twee monsters van elke boom geneem, een van die gebrande en een van die ongebrande kant. Die CT data is geanalieseer en gebruik om eienskappe soos jaarringwydte, selwanddikte, lumendiameter en selwand digtheid te meet. Die data is gebruik om eienskappe tussen die gebrande en ongebrande kante, sowel as tussen jare te vergelyk. Die studie het gewys dat daar noemenswaardige verskille is tussen die voginhoud van die gebrande en ongebrande kante van bome uit klasse 2 en 3. Die voginhoud van die gebrande kante van al drie klasse verkil ook noemenswaardig van mekaar. Ligtheidmetings is gedoen op monsters van klasse 2 en 3. Die monsters het nie ‘n noemenswaardige verskil tussen die gebrande en ongebrande kante getoon nie. Alhoewel die klas 2 monsters ligter vertoon het as die klas 3 monsters, was die verskil nie betekenisvol nie. Houtdigtheid is bepaal deur fisiese metings op die monsters wat vir die CT skandering gebruik is te doen. ‘n Daling in digtheid met ‘n toename in blootstelling aan die brand het duidelik na vore gekom. Die digtheid is egter nog hoog genoeg om aan die vereistes vir strukturele hout te voldoen, soos die die SABS bepaal. Jaarringwydte, selwanddikte en lumen diameter het wisselende resultate opgelewer, met sommige gevalle wat ‘n afname in eienskappe wys en ander wat ooglopend onveranderd was. Vir vele van hierdie uitkoms kon die resultate van vorige studies nie bevestig word nie.

Full textEarly recognition of plant invaders is key to their successful management. Yet knowledge of the ecological impacts of species before they become widespread is poor. This thesis examines the ecology of invasive Pinus radiata, a species which is known to spread from introduced plantings in Australia but is currently a low profile invader. Pinus invasions are considered major ecological problems in New Zealand and South Africa where wildlings are beginning to dominate natural areas and suppress native vegetation. Invasion success elsewhere and the large softwood estate in Australia suggest that pines may begin to dominate native eucalypt forests bordering large commercial plantations. This research focused on three components of impact of P. radiata; extent, abundance and effect per individual. The borders of 29 P. radiata plantations in NSW were surveyed in order to quantify the current level of invasion and to identify factors facilitating pine spread. Of particular interest was the role of propagule pressure, vegetation type and fire in the invasion process. The area of land in NSW currently invaded by P. radiata was estimated at almost 4 500 ha, although this is likely to be an underestimate due to an inability to detect wildlings (self-sown pines) at long distances from the plantation. Twenty six of the 29 plantations produced wild pines, however most of the sites are in the very early stages of invasion. Noticeable wildling populations were recorded at nine sites indicating that P. radiata is capable of establishing within native vegetation. Pine spread was most severe in the world heritage listed Blue Mountains region where pine densities reached up to 2000 per hectare in areas adjacent to the plantation and isolated pines were recorded up to 4 km from the source. The presence of isolated pines within intact native vegetation suggests that disturbance is not required for pine establishment in forested environments. Furthermore, high pine emergence and survival rates in eucalypt woodland and evidence of self reproduction by wildlings suggest that in the absence of adequate control measures pines may become established invaders in the Australian landscape. While low levels of current invasion at many sites hindered the ability to examine the factors facilitating invasion some variables that appear to be driving pine success were identified. At the landscape scale plantation size and residence time were significant predictors of the level of invasion at a site. Areas of native vegetation vi adjacent to plantations less than 40 years experienced very low levels of invasion suggesting a lag period between plantation establishment and invasion. However, pines with diameters up to 60 cm were observed growing adjacent to plantations younger than 40 years implying that the first colonisers are capable of establishing soon after plantation trees become reproductive. Propagule pressure was also found to have a strong influence on invasion success on a smaller scale manifesting in a significant positive relationship between the age of a plantation compartment and the likelihood of invasion. A negative relationship between plantation size and level of invasion was a surprising result and was influenced by just two large sites that happened to be located in areas of high rainfall. All sites receiving more than 1300 mm annual rainfall experienced low levels of invasion suggesting that this is a limiting factor for pine spread in NSW. There were significant differences in the level of invasion between vegetation types implying that some communities are more susceptible to invasion. Patterns of spread confirmed ideas regarding the facilitative effect of disturbance in the invasion process and the resistance of wet sclerophyll forest to invasion in Australia. An absence of wildlings in cleared land and areas of remnant bushland was attributed to high levels of grazing pressure. Wind direction did not appear to influence the distribution of pines close to the plantation, but evidence of long distance wind dispersal of pines was provided by an investigation of pine spread from the air at one site where large pines were found growing 10 km downwind from a mature plantation. Fire was found to have both a positive and negative influence on the invasion process. High intensity wildfires are capable of destroying large pines with diameters exceeding 50 cm. However, fire can stimulate seed release from cones resulting in large post-fire recruitment pulses. Seedling densities of up to 3050 per hectare were recorded almost 3 years after wildfire, suggesting that follow up control prior to recruits reaching coning age, i.e. within 5 years, would be beneficial. Surveys of wildling pines exposed to low intensity hazard reduction burns suggest that the majority of pines greater than 3 m in height and with a diameter of more than 10 cm will survive the fire. Low intensity prescribed fires that are carried out after pines have reached this size will fail to control wildling populations. To examine the influence of P. radiata once it has established in the native community this study focused on two mechanisms of impact, the addition of pine litter and increased shade due to an increase in canopy cover. Collection of pine litterfall vii within an invaded eucalypt woodland over a 2 year period recorded rates of up to 1400 kg/ha/year in the most heavily invaded area with a pine basal area of 11.3m2/ha. More than 70 % of pine litter fell directly below the pine canopy suggesting that the most severe litter effects will be limited to these areas. Glasshouse and field experiments were conducted to examine the influence of this increased litter load on the emergence of P. radiata and two native species. Recruitment of native plant species was impeded by litter levels of 6000 kg/ha, the equivalent of approximately 4 years of pine litterfall. Both P. radiata and the two natives responded similarly to pine and eucalypt litter suggesting the two litter types are influencing the recruitment phase equally. However, where pines are added to the system, increased litterfall rates could potentially result in the doubling of the litter load and hence a greater barrier to seedling establishment. Pine invaded eucalypt woodlands are also subjected to three fold increases in canopy cover. Trends in reduced emergence of native species under a pine canopy suggest that the addition of pines to eucalypt forests is likely to have a negative influence on native recruitment and may result in a shift towards a shade tolerant community. However, reversal of trends in emergence below pine canopy between seasons implies that quantifying invasion impacts requires a consideration of temporal variation. Increased levels of disturbance, forest fragmentation and an increasing pine estate are likely to lead to the infestation of new areas. Furthermore the lag phase associated with pine spread means that even if no new plantations are established the number of invasion events will increase. This study has identified a number of risk factors that can be used to guide plantation establishment and the management of invasion events. Minimising disturbance at plantation borders and increasing the ‘no planting’ zone will help to reduce the impacts of pines. Where possible new plantations should be established upwind of cleared land or at least, wet sclerophyll forest. Frequent monitoring of the borders of plantations yet to source invasions, particularly those greater than 40 years of age, will help identify problem areas before control becomes difficult and costly. Maps of the 29 plantations marked with areas of pine infestation will help prioritise sites for control and provide base level knowledge for future monitoring of pine spread. Stringent legislation that binds plantation managers to control wildlings beyond their boundaries is critical for the effective management of pine invasions. With infinite numbers of invaders and limited funds to dedicate to their control, a method of triaging species for management is critical. This is particularly difficult viii when information is typically biased towards invaders that are already widespread. By focussing on the ecological impacts of invaders it becomes possible to rank species on the basis of the threat they pose to native communities. Ecological research is capable of providing the knowledge to quantify invasion impacts and must remain at the centre of policy decisions.

Los predios donde se ubicaron los ensayos fueron San Pedro de la Paz (predio Lomas Coloradas), Nacimiento (predio Nacimiento), Santa Bárbara (predio Santa Bárbara) y Cabrero (predio Tapihue). Para cada sitio se consideraron tres clases de edad ([0-7), [7-14) y [14+)). En cada uno de los 12 puntos de Zona-Edad, se procedió a instalar un conglomerado de 3 parcelas permanentes de 1.000 m2, totalizando 36 parcelas, entre los meses de Agosto y Septiembre de 2010. Estos predios y rodales se ubican a menos de 10 km de las estaciones meteorológicas de Escuadrón (Lomas Coloradas), Pichún (Nacimiento), Santa Bárbara (Santa Bárbara) y Trilahue (Tapihue) que mantiene Forestal Mininco S.A. La edad se correlacionó positivamente con el índice de área foliar (L) como era de esperar. Además se aprecia que el L crece fuertemente desde la clase de edad [0-7) a la [7-14), comparado con el crecimiento entre la clase de edad [7-14) a [14+). Lo anterior implica que el mayor crecimiento en área foliar se genera antes de los 14 años. Además a lo largo de los 24 meses se observa que el L aumenta fuertemente en la clase de edad [0-7), en menor cuantía en la clase de edad [7-14), y muestra un crecimiento prácticamente imperceptible en la clase [14+) años.

Full textLa madera de pino radiata, principal recurso maderero del país, es de baja durabilidad. Hongos e insectos, entre otros factores de su deterioro, son usualmente los más relevantes. Del grupo de los insectos, en particular la termita subterránea “Reticulitermes flavipes”, representa hoy la mayor preocupación, por su agresividad y avance permanente en áreas pobladas del país. El arseniato de cobre cromado (CCA) fue, por décadas, el preservante más utilizado en todo el mundo para proteger la madera, sin embargo, preocupaciones medioambientales, hace más de diez años, dieron paso a un cambio hacia otros productos. El uso de cobreazoles (CA) y en particular el de tipo B, junto con cobreazol micronizado, han sido los cambios más importantes desde entonces a nivel mundial. Su incorporación al mercado local, sin embargo, ha sido muy lenta, básicamente por costo y por no existir un marco legal que regule el uso de madera tratada con CCA. Sobre la base de los requisitos exigidos por la Australian Standard®, AS 1604.1-2012, para madera tratada con CA-B, el objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el comportamiento de madera de Pino radiata tratada con CA-B, a retenciones menores a las exigidas por la Norma Chilena, frente al ataque de hongos de pudrición y termita subterránea. Los métodos empleados fueron; “Standard Test Method for Wood Preservatives by Laboratory Soil-Block Cultures”, descrito en la ASTM Designation: D1413 − 07ɛ1 y la Norma Chilena NCh 3060.Of 2007, para el estudio con hongos y termita subterránea respectivamente. En el estudio con Lentinus lipideus, todos los grupos de retención presentaron efecto positivo en el control del hongo y diferencias estadísticamente significativas respecto a las probetas testigo. En el caso de Coriolus versicolor, solo los grupos de retención 1,4 y 1,8 kg/m3 se diferenciaron estadísticamente del testigo en el control del hongo. En el estudio contra termita subterránea, la retención necesaria de CA-B para el control de Reticulermes flavipes se ubicó entre las retenciones 1,4 y 1,8 kg/m3 (concordante con la Norma NCh 819:2012). Una retención menor en pino radiata tratado con CA-B, no pudo ser validada para el control de termita subterránea, Reticulermes flavipes.

Full textAbstract: Exotic forest species have been introduced in Brazil in order to promote improvements in socioeconomic development and help to reduce the pressure caused to native forests. With growing demand for these species, research on genetic improvement has increased to find new, more productive germplasm and preferably in less time. Two species were used in the study: slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) and radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don). The first part of the study had the purpose to identify the stability, adaptability, productivity and genetic parameters, in addition to selection gain and genetic divergence in slash pine open pollinated second generation progenies considering phenotypic trait. Two tests were established, one in Ponta Grossa-PR with 24 progenies and one in Ribeirão Branco-SP with 44 progenies, both in Brazil, to identify the most productive genotypes for commercial planting areas in both sites. There was significant variation (p<0.01) among progenies for growth and form traits. The high coefficients of genetic variation for wood volume (14.31% to 16.24% - Ribeirão Branco-SP and 31.78% to 33.77% - Ponta Grossa-PR) and heritability (0.10 to 0.15 – Ribeirão Branco-SP and 0.36 to 0.48 – Ponta Grossa-PR) have shown low environmental influence on phenotypic variation, which is important for the prediction of genetic gain by selecting and confirming genetic potential in both places, especially Ponta Grossa. The effect of genotype x environment interact... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
Resumo: Espécies exóticas de Pinus foram introduzidas no Brasil para promoverem o crescimento socioeconômico do país e ajudar na redução da pressão causada pelo uso de florestas nativas Com a crescente demanda por essas espécies, pesquisas em melhoramento genético tem aumentado na busca de novos germoplasma mais produtivos em menor tempo. Duas espécies foram utilizadas no presente trabalho: Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii e Pinus radiata D. Don. A primeira parte do trabalho teve a finalidade de identificar a estabilidade, a adaptabilidade, a produtividade e os parâmetros genéticos, além do ganho de seleção e diversidade genética em progênies de polinização aberta de segunda geração de P. elliottii var. elliottii considerando os caracteres fenotípicos. Foram estabelecidos dois testes, um em Ponta Grossa-PR com 24 progênies e outro em Ribeirão Branco-SP com 44 progênies visando identificar os genótipos mais produtivos para áreas de plantio comercial em ambos locais. Foi observada variação significativa (p<0,01) entre as progênies para os caracteres de crescimento e alguns caracteres de forma. Os altos coeficientes de variação genética para volume de madeira (14,31% a 16,24% - Ribeirão Branco e 31,78% a 33,77% - Ponta Grossa) e herdabilidade (0,10 a 0,15 – Ribeirão Branco e 0,36 a 0,48 – Ponta Grossa) mostraram baixa influência do ambiente na variação fenotípica, o que é importante para a predição do ganho genético mediante a seleção e confirmam potencial genético em ambos os loc...
