Full textRiparian ecosystems are found in the transition between aquatic and adjacent terrestrial ecosystems where unique vegetative communities can occur due to free water at or near the soil surface. A healthy, functional riparian plant community provides a rich environment for insects, mollusks, amphibians, reptiles, fishes, birds, and animals. In Arizona, many naturally occurring riparian ecosystems have been impacted, altered or removed by natural processes and land management activities. This publication provides information to assist residents, landowners, and agency personnel in successfully establishing pole plantings in riparian ecosystems of Arizona.

Full textDevido à intensa supressão da vegetação nativa em áreas de nascentes do Estado de Sergipe, pode-se notar um significativo quadro de degradação ambiental. Dessa forma, torna-se necessária a adoção de práticas que visem à recomposição da vegetação e estas podem ser realizadas através da regeneração artificial, com a semeadura direta ou plantio de mudas. Diante o exposto, o trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar o desenvolvimento de espécies florestais nativas em área de nascente na bacia hidrográfica do rio Piauitinga, no município de Salgado-SE, com relação aos métodos de regeneração artificial (semeadura direta e plantio de mudas), utilizando-se as espécies florestais nativas Anadenanthera macrocarpa (Benth.) Bren, Ceiba speciosa (A. St. Hill), Hymenaea stigonocarpa (Mart.) Hayne, Psidium guajava L. e Tabebuia aurea (Manso) Benth. & Hook. Análises da morfometria, determinação da umidade e qualidade fisiológica das sementes foram previamente realizadas em laboratório. O experimento em campo foi implantado em Delineamento em Blocos Casualizados (DBC), em esquema fatorial com quatro repetições, em uma área anteriormente ocupada por pastagem, localizada no município de Salgado-SE. A semeadura direta e o plantio de mudas foram realizados em covas (30x30x30cm), com espaçamento de 1,5m x 1,5m, contendo 9 plantas por espécie em cada bloco, totalizando 90 plantas por bloco, ocupando uma extensão de 0,1024 hectares. Foram avaliadas as porcentagens de emergência e sobrevivência das plântulas em campo, desenvolvimento inicial das mudas e Taxa de Crescimento Relativo (TCR) até os 300 dias após a implantação. A espécie que apresentou melhores índices de emergência e sobrevivência foi H. stigonocarpa com 74,44% e 48,89%, respectivamente. Na semeadura direta, nenhuma planta de A. macrocarpa sobreviveu. Na avaliação das características de crescimento em campo em relação à semeadura direta, observou-se maior crescimento em altura para P. guajava (25,84cm) e para diâmetro, T. aurea (6,51mm). No plantio de mudas, o maior crescimento em altura foi na C. speciosa (93,26cm) e a espécie T. aurea apresentou maior incremento em diâmetro (20,92mm). Houve diferença estatística na TCR das plantas, para as duas estratégias de plantio. As espécies T. aurea, C. speciosa e H. stigonocarpa apresentaram características viáveis para serem utilizadas por meio da semeadura direta e plantio de mudas em projetos de recuperação em áreas de nascentes degradadas. A estratégia de plantio que apresentou maiores médias em relação aos parâmetros avaliados foi o plantio de mudas, na recuperação da área estudada.

Full textThe transplantation of young individuals occurring under forest canopy as an strategy of planting stock production for ecological restoration is recent in Brazil. Among its most important advantages we highlight the collection of a high number of species (usually not available in nurseries), the elimination of unknown or expensive nurseries\' proceedings (seeds\' amelioration, storage and pre-germinative requirements) and the obtainment of a high number of individuals when compared to the usual seeds\' collection. Despite these advantages, some restraints must be considered, once this technique should only be applied on specific situations, like those where vegetated areas will be legally deforested. On these cases transplantation may represent a feasible way to make good use of what otherwise would be wasted, representing an interesting possibility of environmental compensation resulting from activities with adverse effects. Considering that those situations are quite common in developing countries, the present study aims to evaluate the transplantation technique as an strategy of planting stock production, improving ecological restoration efforts. For this matter, this dissertation is divided into two chapters. The former is about the technique feasibility - considering its ecological, technical/silvicultural and economic aspects - and the latter about the transplanted seedlings\' performance under two light conditions (sun and shade). In a general way, seedlings and saplings\' transplantation is feasible, although further studies are needed to refine the technique and improve the performance of transplanted individuals.

At first, the Brazilian Cerrado was not valued, facing the Amazon and the Atlantic forests. In the 1970s, the Federal Governement started to stimulate the econimical development of midwest region, where it was located the most part of Cerrado, with a large developent of the farming area. That enlargement of the agricultural frontier resulted on the felling of thousands of hectares of Cerrado. The area of study is in Mineiros (GO), and it was cleared up to form livestock grazing of Urochloa decumbens (Stapf) R.D. Webster for more than thirty years, e remaining a few mature trees and a narrow strip of riparian forest. In 2010, it began the mixed planting of seedlings for restoration of native vegetation as the objective of the Legal Reserve replacement. The planting of Lots 1 and 2 were evaluated concerning the seedling and regenerating composition, richness, diversity and mortality, within 18 months. To this end it has been demarcated 9 plots of 50 × 50 m and within them it was collected the results of 4 subplots of 20x20 m, as a total 36 subplots and 1,44 ha. In Lot 1, it was found 290 seedlings (15 families and 53 species) and 209 regeneratings (22 families and 66 species). In the Lot 2, it was found 403 seedlings (8 families and 31 species) and 125 regeneratings (13 families and 34 species). The species richness was better in Lot 1 in relation to Lot 2 front of both seedlings and for regenerating. The index of Shannon diversity was to Lot 1 (seedlings: 3,330; regeneratings: 3.629) were similar to the ones found in survey of native fragments of cerrado strict sense, fact not verified in Lot 2 (seedlings: 2,704; regeneratings: 2,940). Seeding trees and regenerating mortality was signigicant. Between the planting seeds and the first survey, held in 2013, Lot 1 had a mortality of 81.7% and Lot 2 of 74.5%. Between the measurements, the death of Lot 1 was 26.9% to 20.6% for seedlings and regeneratings, already Lot 2 was 12.7% for seedlings and 4.0% for regenerating. If the mortality pattern continue in the coming years, it is possible that future find few surviving seedlings in the area. The study showed that the floristic composition of sapling is different and higher than the seedlings, reinforcing the importance of natural regeneration in the ecological restoration process, as many of regenerating species would not be produced in nurseries. The diversity presented higher values for Lot 1 in relation to Lot 2, both for plants and for regenerating, and there was no significant difference in rates over time. Mortality of seedlings is high in both lots and can be caused by the abundant presence of brachiaria, a fact that should be investigated.
Inicialmente, o Cerrado brasileiro foi pouco valorizado, frente às florestas Amazônica e Atlântica. Na década de 1970, o Governo Federal passou a estimular o desenvolvimento econômico da região Centro-Oeste, onde se situava a maior parte do Cerrado, com forte estímulo à expansão das áreas agrícolas. Esta ampliação da fronteira agrícola resultou na derrubada de milhares de hectares de Cerrado. A área de estudo está localizada em Mineiros (GO), e foi desmatada para formação de pastagem de Urochloa decumbens (Stapf) R.D. Webster a mais de 30 anos, restando na área apenas poucas árvores adultas e uma estreita faixa de mata ciliar. Em 2010, iniciou-se o plantio misto de mudas para recomposição da vegetação nativa, objetivando a reposição da Reserva Legal. Os plantios dos Lotes 1 e 2 foram avaliados quanto à composição, riqueza, diversidade e mortalidade de mudas e regenerantes, em um intervalo de 18 meses. Para tal, foram demarcadas 9 parcelas de 50 × 50 m e dentro delas foram coletados os dados de 4 subparcelas de 20 × 20 m, totalizando 36 subparcelas e 1,44 ha. No Lote 1, foram encontradas 290 mudas (15 famílias e 53 espécies) e 209 regenerantes (22 famílias e 66 espécies). No Lote 2, foram levantadas 403 mudas (8 famílias e 31 espécies) e 125 regenerantes (13 famílias e 34 espécies). A riqueza de espécies foi maior no Lote 1 em relação ao Lote 2, tanto para mudas quanto para regenerantes. O índice de diversidade de Shannon para o Lote 1 (mudas: 3,330; regenerantes: 3,629) foram semelhantes ao encontrado em levantamento de fragmentos nativos de cerrado sentido restrito, fato não verificado no Lote 2 (mudas: 2,704; regenerantes: 2,940). A mortalidade de mudas e regenerantes foi significativa. Entre o plantio das mudas e o primeiro levantamento, realizado em 2013, o Lote 1 teve uma mortalidade de 81,7% e o Lote 2 de 74,5%. No período entre as medições, a mortalidade do Lote 1 foi de 26,9% para mudas e 20,6% para regenerantes; a mortalidade do Lote 2, foi de 12,7% para mudas e 4,0% para regenerantes. O estudo mostrou que a composição florística das regenerantes é diferente e maior que a das mudas, reforçando a importância da regeneração natural no processo de restauração ecológica, visto que muitas das espécies regenerantes não seriam produzidas em viveiros de mudas. A diversidade apresentou maiores valores para o Lote 1 em relação ao Lote 2, tanto para mudas quanto para regenerantes. A mortalidade de mudas é alta nos dois lotes, e pode ser causado pela presença abundante da braquiária, fato que deve ser investigado.

Full textSignificant accumulation of know-how about restoration ecology has been changing forest restoration management programs trends during the last years. Choosing or elaborating a restoration model is a process that requires constant improvement and ecological studies that not only reduces the costs involved but also warrants the achievement of the aimed proposal. This study explores new restoration methodologies, searching for technical information about: A) autochthonous and allochthonous seed bank expression on forest restoration at different situations degraded by anthropogenic disturbances; B) seedlings and woody growing individuals rescue; C) efficiency of a planting model based on fulfillment and diversity concept; D) landscape development. The autochthonous and allochthonous seed bank were analyzed through regenerating woody species and density scouting. For the rescue of regenerating woody species, seedling and young individuals were taken from a forest and transferred to a plant nursery for adjustment, where number and species were counted regarding density and survival. In this studied planting model, species were organized and gathered into a fulfillment or diversity group, and each individual had its crown area quantified. Landscape development was analyzed by photointerpretation and specially by periodical field checking. Results from these methodologies showed that: A) Identified degraded situations at Intermontes farm displayed distinguished natural regeneration expression, influenced by the number of germinated seeds of the autochthonous seed bank. Advantage can be taken from these different outcomes by using distinct restoration methodologies for each studied situation. B) For the autochthonous seed bank study, germinated seed density was 409,334 ind./ha, indicating its potential role on restoration programs. Woody individuals at fertilized sites had a medium height enhancement of 137,7% when compared to those at non fertilized sites. C) For seedlings and woody growing individuals rescue, individual density was similar for both seasons (38700ind./ha and 37900ind./ha) but significantly distinct for individual survivor, with values of 16500ind./ha for July and 2600ind./ha for December. Rescue technique turned out to be a viable possibility since it achieved survival of 70,9% for rescued individuals. D) This planting model study registered 143 species, indicating that the diversity groups role has been maintained and enhances the chance of successional process success. The fulfilling group had a significant higher percentage of crown area than the diversity group, with 73,6% and 83,3% for 1,5 and 2,5 years, respectively.

Full textThe importance of riparian forests to maintain the many hydrologic and ecological functions, acknowledged to the point of receiving specific legal protection, did not prevent their indiscriminate destruction during the process of land settlement in Brazil. It is estimated that in São paulo state alone about 600 thousands hectares of stream-side areas have been occupied by other uses rather than natural vegetation, therefore, requiring actions of restoration. Although there is a significant number of studies in restoration of degraded areas mainly in riparian forests, the results in research on development of restoration planting of riparian forests in the long term are few. Neither older random plantings nor more recent ones based on sucession processes have been subjected to analysis that would make it possible to evaluate the efficacy of these methods of planting for restoration of riparian forest with its original form and functions. The general aim of this study was to evaluate self-sustainability and sucession tendencies of a planted riparian forest, based on aspects of structure and functioning of the forest in patches of different ages. Thus, the current existing forest was evaluated regarding composition and structure of the community; the regenerative stratum of the forest was characterized and quantified with the purpose of understanding natural regeneration processes; the seasonability of fall foliage through its periodic quantification and itscontribution to the return of nutrients to the soil was characterized; the soil underneath the forest was characterized, and the results in areas that were not restored were compared; planted forests and natural forests were compared through parameters analyzed: richness and floristic diversity of the tree stratum, absolute density, relative density, basal area, forest stratification, floristic similarity, canopy cover, natural regeneration, chemical characteristics of the soil and production and nutrients content in the foliage. By analyzing restored areas as a whole, we can confirm an exuberant and physiognomically well structured riparian forest, whose role of protecting hydric resources and the soil has been easily noticed. Some ecological indicators assessed such as the abundant natural regeneration existing under the planted forest and the spontaneous development of new species show that there has been a natural increase in floristic richness, which proves that nature manages to perpetuate forests by making the necessary adjustments. The hypothesis of this work was confirmed by the results obtained: with time the planted forest tends to become more and more similar to the natural forest, both in structure and function.

Full textThere is a growing demand today for tropical forest restoration efforts, and one of the main barriers for accomplishing this demand is the economic viability of the projects. In scenarios where ecological restoration requires the implementation of native species plantings, the exploitation of timber can be an important alternative to make restoration financially viable, as a way to achieve the ultimate goal of the restoration of the ecosystem. The lack of technical and scientific knowledge about the potential of timber production by native species in reforestation is, however, an important obstacle for applying this alternative at the large scale. In this context, we evaluated the growth of 16 native species with potential for timber production in 13 restoration plantings, with ages ranging between 6 and 96 years, located at the Seasonal Semideciduous Forest of inland São Paulo State, southeastern Brazil. These species were evaluated regarding their growth in real and potential diameter, as well their total and commercial height, by modeling these parameters through multiple linear regressions. These models were generated based on the correlation among the age of the restoration planting, the most influent environmental factor (related to climate and soil) and the analyzed parameters, allowing us to obtaining the perspectives of growth for each species in scenarios of low, moderate and high site productivity. We established projections of growth in diameter considering all individuals sampled for each species in the reforestations, as well as the best 25% individuals, as means of estimating the potential growth of each species in more favorable scenarios of silvicultural management. We carried out a descriptive analysis of the qualitiative variables evaluated in the field (number of boles, quality of the tree and exposition to sun light), which were associated to the total and commercial heights, to verify if the relationship between these parameters may guide proposals of suitable silvicultural management for these species. Many of the studied species, especially Cariniana legalis and C. estrellensis, showed a satisfactory potential of timber production in restoration plantings, mainly in more favorable site conditions and under adequate silvicultural treatments, However, even under favorable conditions, some species presented growth rates excessively slow, which discourage their planting for timber production. The expected cycle of timber production for each species was highly variable according to the environmental characteristics of the site, thus reinforcing the importance to guide the selection of species for each site condition, to accomplish a suitable soil preparation before planting and to consider these site conditions for designing models of restoration for timber exploitation. In addition, most trees were dominated in the forest structure, which reinforces the importance of spacing, species composition of the vicinity and thinning in the potential of timber production.

Treated sewage sludge, called biosolid, contains high levels of macronutrients and organic matter, potentially being a great input for agricultural and forestry use. However, studies on the growth response of native forest tree species to biosolids fertilization are still very incipient. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sewage sludge biosolids on the growth of seven Atlantic Forest tree species, commonly used in restoration plantations. In a field experiment in Serop?dica, RJ, was evaluated the effect of four doses of biosolids (0, 2, 4 and 8 L per planting pit) and a treatment with mineral fertilization on the growth of seven tree species. During 19 months, growth (height and diameter at soil height - DNS) and survival of the species Schinus terebinthifolius Radd were monitored. (Aroeira), Lafoensia glyptocarpa KOEHNE (mirindiba), Inga laurina (Sw.) Willd. (Ingla-laurine), Senna multijuga (Rich.) (Pau-cigarra), Genipa americana (Vell.) Brenan (genipapo). In a second planting, under the same treatments, the species Peltophorum dubium (Spreng.) Taub (dry flour) and Enterolobium contortisiliquum (Vell.) Morong (black ear) were monitored for 9 months. At the end of the monitoring period, the crown diameter and macronutrient leaf contents were also evaluated. The dose of up to 4 L of biosolid did not compromise the survival of the plants in the field. However, under the mineral fertilizer treatment, all plants of S. multijuga, 80% of I. laurina and 67% of plants of L. glyptocarpa, probably due to the effect of fertilizer salts on soil water potential Conjugated to the occurrence of a drought period after planting. The increase of the biosolid dose corresponded to a linear increase of the growth of the DNS of S. terebinthifolius, and of the growth in height, DNS and cup diameter of P. dubium. However, application of the 8 L dose of biosolids reduced up to 50% growth of S. multijuga. The species I. laurina, G. americana and E. contortisiliquum showed no response to biosolid application. Mineral fertilization significantly reduced the growth of S. terebinthifolius (p <0.05) and a similar trend was observed for G. americana, L. glyptocarpa and P. dubium (p <0.17). However, this same treatment increased the height growth of E. contortisiliquum by 70% in relation to the non-fertilized control. In general, the treatments did not significantly alter the macronutrient contents of the evaluated species. A clear exception was the increase of the Ca content in plants of L. glyptocarpa that received biosolids, and the increase of the N content in P. dubium treated with mineral fertilization. It is concluded that the different native forest species present different responses to the biosolid application. The dose of 4 L of biosolid was the only one that had no negative effect or promoted the growth of the Atlantic Forest tree species evaluated. It is recommended that similar studies be carried out on other soil types with other species in order to refine the recommendation of the use of biosolids in forest restoration plantations. Finally, caution is suggested in the use of mineral fertilizers for plantations with native species, as this practice may result in mortality or slow the growth of some species.
O lodo de esgoto tratado, denominado bioss?lido, cont?m altos teores de macronutrientes e mat?ria org?nica sendo, potencialmente, um ?timo insumo para utiliza??o agr?cola e florestal. Entretanto, estudos sobre a resposta de crescimento de esp?cies arb?reas florestais nativas ? aduba??o com bioss?lido ainda s?o muito incipientes. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar os efeitos proporcionados pela aplica??o de bioss?lido de lodo de esgoto sobre o crescimento de sete esp?cies arb?reas da Mata Atl?ntica, comumente utilizadas em plantios de restaura??o. Em um experimento de campo em Serop?dica, RJ, foi avaliado o efeito de quatro doses de bioss?lido (0, 2, 4 e 8 L por cova de plantio) e um tratamento com fertiliza??o mineral sobre o crescimento de sete esp?cies arb?reas. Ao longo de 19 meses foi monitorado o crescimento (altura e di?metro ? altura do solo ? DNS) e a sobreviv?ncia das esp?cies Schinus terebinthifolius Radd. (aroeira), Lafoensia glyptocarpa KOEHNE (mirindiba), Inga laurina (Sw.) Willd. (ing?-laurina), Senna multijuga (Rich.) (pau-cigarra), Genipa americana (Vell.) Brenan (jenipapo). Em um segundo plantio, sob os mesmos tratamentos, foi monitorado por 9 meses as esp?cies Peltophorum dubium (Spreng.) Taub (farinha-seca) e Enterolobium contortisiliquum (Vell.) Morong (orelha-de-negro). Ao final do per?odo de monitoramento, foi avaliado tamb?m o di?metro de copa e os teores foliares de macronutrientes. A dose de at? 4 L de bioss?lido n?o comprometeu a sobreviv?ncia das plantas em campo. Por?m, sob o tratamento com fertilizante mineral houve mortalidade de todas as plantas de S. multijuga, 80% de I. laurina e 67% das plantas de L. glyptocarpa, provavelmente em raz?o do efeito dos sais do fertilizante sobre o potencial h?drico do solo conjugado ? ocorr?ncia de um per?odo de estiagem ap?s o plantio. O aumento da dose de bioss?lido correspondeu a um aumento linear do crescimento do DNS de S. terebinthifolius, e do crescimento em altura, DNS e di?metro de copa de P. dubium. Entretanto, a aplica??o da dose de 8 L de bioss?lido reduziu em at? 50% o crescimento de S. multijuga. As esp?cies I. laurina, G. americana e E. contortisiliquum n?o apresentaram resposta ? aplica??o de bioss?lido. A aduba??o mineral reduziu significativamente o crescimento de S. terebinthifolius (p<0,05) e tend?ncia similar foi observada para G. americana, L. glyptocarpa e P. dubium (p<0,17). Entretanto, esse mesmo tratamento aumentou em 70% o crescimento em altura de E. contortisiliquum em rela??o ao controle n?o adubado. Em geral, os tratamentos n?o alteraram significativamente os teores de macronutrientes foliares das esp?cies avaliadas. Uma clara exce??o foi o aumento do teor de Ca em plantas de L. glyptocarpa que receberam bioss?lido, e o aumento do teor de N em P. dubium tratado com aduba??o mineral. Conclui-se que as diferentes esp?cies florestais nativas apresentam respostas distintas ? aplica??o de bioss?lido. A dose de 4 L/cova de bioss?lido foi a ?nica que n?o teve efeito negativo ou promoveu o crescimento da das esp?cies arb?reas da Mata Atl?ntica avaliadas. Recomenda-se que estudos similares sejam efetuados em outros tipos de solo com outras esp?cies de modo refinar a recomenda??o do uso do bioss?lido em plantios de restaura??o florestal. Por fim, sugere-se cautela no uso de fertilizantes minerais para plantios com esp?cies nativas, pois esta pr?tica pode resultar em mortalidade ou retardar o crescimento de algumas esp?cies.

Full textThe establishment of methodologies used to quantify carbon in tropical forests are one of the main topics on climate conventions. This project contributes to the estimation of biomass and aboveground carbon stored around reservoirs located in Pontal do Paranapanema, São Paulo - Brazil, using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology. The objective was to explore the accumulation of aboveground carbon stored in three different succession conditions: mature, secondary and restored forest. The first chapter of this thesis shows the common allometric equations found in literature used to determine the amount of carbon in each area using field variables. However, the chosen allometric equation was developed by Ferez et al. (2015), because it was adjusted in similar areas than the area of this work. Thus, the restored corridor presented a mean of 7.1 Mg.C.ha-1, the secondary forest 39.9 Mg.C.ha-1 and the mature forest 45.2 Mg.C.ha-1 for the year of 2016. The annual fixation found was about 1.2 Mg.ha-1 for the restored forest, 1.6 Mg.ha-1 for the secondary forest and 2.5 Mg.ha-1 for the mature one. The second article brings the modeling performed with LiDAR data and traditional field inventory data. After using statistical methods for model selection, the chosen model uses two metrics: percentile 90 and percentage of returns above 50 cm of height to estimate aboveground carbon The extrapolation to the total area by traditional inventory and LiDAR modeling showed differences, demonstrating the efficiency of LiDAR to recognize information from non-sampled areas. The last chapter of the thesis brings the variation of carbon using LiDAR data through the years of 2015 and 2016. LiDAR data showed to be useful for measuring aboveground carbon and to detect the increment of the carbon stock over a year.

Full textAmong the obstacles to the native forests restoration in Brazil we find the high costs of planting high diversity of native trees. Searching for reduction of costs and vegetation recovery acceleration, the use of a fast growing exotic species (Pinus elliottii var. elliottii) as pioneer was tested in a riparian area in the cerrado domain, at Assis municipality, São Paulo State, Brazil. As observed in forest plantations with exotic species in the same region, we expected the natural regeneration of native species to occur under the planted exotic trees. In addition, the later exploitation of the exotic species could bring some profit to the land owner, surpassing the restoration costs, and thus stimulating forest restoration initiatives. Pinus was planted in three different spacings (treatments): 3 x 3 m, 3 x 2 m and 2 x 2 m, and a fourth treatment consisted of not planted plots (control). Every treatment had four replications in randomized blocks, the 16 plots (18 x 12 m each) settled along the stream, from 20 to 40 m far from the margin. The experimental area had been used as pasture for at least two decades, mostly covered by african grasses. Some native species then existing were preserved when the Pinus trees were planted, in 1995, without revolving the soil. Basal area, crown cover and survival of planted trees, as well as floristic composition, density and crown cover of native species regenerating in every plot (minimum height 50 cm) were assessed in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2006. The aim was to verify if: 1) Pinus trees facilitating the regeneration of the native species, 2) Pinus trees obstructing the evolution of the native community or 3) the exotic species not affecting the native community. In 2006, density of the native woody species regenerating was 4923 ind/ha under Pinus and 3472 ind/ha in the control, from a total of 68 woody species (31 families) in the experimental area. Density of the regenerating community was positively correlated to density and basal area of Pinus. Thus, we concluded that Pinus eliminating grasses by shading (ground cover by grasses was inversely correlated to Pinus structure), indirectly favored the native woody species and are still not competing with them. The proportion of zoochorous species was negatively correlated to the Pinus density, showing that the exotic species does not attract animal seed dispersers. In the open areas (control), the zoochory was relatively more frequent. Density of some species (40%) increasing under Pinus and others (25%) decreasing or disappearing, which means secondary succession should go toward different directions if under Pinus plantation or in open areas. Analyzing the economical aspects of using Pinus as pioneer, we found that planting costs corresponded to a third part of those of planting mixed stands with native species. In addition, planting costs can be compensated by a single year of resin exploitation. However, current techniques of resin extraction or timber exploitation could cause considerable damages to the understory. Alternative exploitation techniques of the exotic species must be encouraged if restoration of the native community in the understory is expected.

Full textNew Caledonia is recognized as one of the main hotspots on the world. Unfortunately, its exceptional biodiversity is threatened by the rapid development of human activities. Hence, impacted natural environments must be restored to maintain the ecosystem services they provide. The main objective of this study was to propose the establishment of active restoration by ecological continuities which take into account mode of dispersion, germination of plant species as well as the distances from plantations to natural vegetation. For answer to this objective, the implementation of a database containing the characteristics of dispersal, dormancy and desiccation tolerance of seeds of 407 taxa found in maquis or both maquis and forest was carried out. Then, an evaluation of the recovery progress of revegetated areas by plantation was carried out. Finally, floristic inventories in the natural vegetations of the area study have enable to characterize their structure, their composition and to determine 37 vegetal species called "candidate" to be prioritized in the future restoration projects, by their high phenotypic plasticity allowing thern to develop both in open and closed environments. Twelve of thern have been the subject of a phonological (flower and fruit) and germination study

Full textIn order to study carbon sequestration in forest restoration systems and discuss its potential and barriers to the CDM forestry, this paper had two main objectives: i) quantify the initial rate of carbon sequestration in compartments aboveground, roots, soil and forest floor, on Atlantic forest restoration, with 20 native species (10 pioneers and 10 non pioneer), submitted to contrasting management conditions (usual and intensive), installed on Brachiaria decumbens pasture in 3 x 2 m spacing, and ii) comparing the carbon stocks of these two systems, observing the end of the sixth year of restoration, with values determined in a fragment of mature forest adjacent to the test. Both studies are located in Anhembi, São Paulo (USP Anhembi Experimental Station and the Barreiro Rico reserve). The usual treatment consisted of only fertilizer at planting and mechanical weeding only in the row up to two years, while the intensive treatment had additional fertilization beyond crop fertilization and chemical weed control also in the entire area until two years after planting. We developed allometric equations for estimating biomass through destructive sampling of 80 trees. Four individuals per species were selected based on classes of sectional area. Dry weight were determined and the carbon content for wood and roots. Through the equations, and carbon content we calculated carbon stocks per compartment, in both treatments. Carbon stocks in herbaceous, in the litter and soil were also determined. With these estimates we calculated the variation of carbon per compartment in the two restoration systems. Carbon stocks in mature forest were quantified using data from 10 permanent plots of inventory and applying appropriate allometric models. The wood density varied between species by up to 3 times (0.22 to 0.70 g cm-3) while the C content was relatively constant (46.5%). Appropriately adjusted equations for aboveground woody biomass, root and crown biomass were established using cross-sectional area, height and wood density. The percentage of roots is significant (30%) compared to the total, and non-pioneer species showed a higher ratio root / shoot (0.32) than the pioneer (0.28). The intensive forestry increased growth of woody compartment by 250% (1.85 to 6.45 Mg ha-1 yr-1), given the greater efficiency of the canopy and allocation of C to the trunk. The carbon content in the soil although representative in the total stock, did not result in C sequestration in the six years period, given its high spatial variability. The largest C sequestration was observed in the intensive treatment, reaching 4.22 Mg C ha-1 yr-1, 64% on the trunk and branches, and 20% in roots. The values of C stock in soil and litter were similar between the intensive system of forest restoration and mature forest, and indeed the trunk, branches and roots stocks, the major difference between the systems. Based on the average growth of trees and carbon stocks in the restoration and the first 6 years (7 and 21 kg tree-1 in the usual system and intensive, and 5.2 and 18.2 Mg C ha-1 in these same treatments), and the average tree size and carbon stocks in mature forest (204 kg tree-1 and 138 Mg C ha-1), a 50 years period was estimated for the intensive system to reach forest maturity although there is a need for studies relating biodiversity and sustainability of these restored systems in the long run.

One of the main problems found in forestry stands intended for restoration is seedling quality. The goal of this research was to evaluate different tube volumes in seedling production, utilizing biosolid as the substrate, within the following species; Ceiba speciosa, Pseudobombax grandiflorum, Dalbergia nigra and Lafoensia glyptocarpa,. The experiment consisted of the seedling production stage and a development evaluation stage in the field. The treatments utilized were 55, 110, 180 and 280 cm? tubes. The seedling production phase was done under entirely randomized design composed of four replications of the 12 seedlings. The field phase was also done under entirely randomized design due to the seedling formation period, which was in different periods for each species. The 280 cm? tube provided the best seedling quality, regardless of the species, when the biosolid was utilized as substrate. Despite this, for the species Pseudobombax grandiflorum, Dalbergia nigra and Lafoensia glyptocarpa, it is possible to utilize the 180 cm? tubet for seedling formation while maintaining similar quality

The Atlantic Forest is considered hotspot for biodiversity conservation, due to its high biological diversity, high endemism and high threat of degradation. This scenario has raised concern about finding information to support recovery projects of degraded areas. This study aimed to evaluate the growth, coverage percentage in the soil and the survival of species of the Atlantic Forest, from the planting seedlings in different treatments, present in a particular area in the recovery process, in the region Vale do Ribeira, located in Sete Barras, Brazil. In 2004, the owner made the removal of vegetation for grazing deployment with brachiaria. In 2009, UFSCar was sought to implement the project of "experimental recovery of degraded areas" where seedlings were planted, divided into spacing of 1.5 x 2 m (dense treatment) and 3 x 2 m (conventional treatment). In this study, from July 2013 was carried out monitoring of the area to assess the growth and survival of planted seedlings as well as the percentage of shading and grasses. Five surveys were conducted (July 2013, October 2013, January 2014, April 2014 and July 2014) to evaluate the survival and growth (height, stem diameter and crown diameter) of the seedlings. 30 months after planting, the 220 individuals initially raised in this study, the survival was 85.2% in the dense treatment and 84.8% in the conventional treatment, so mortality was around 15% for both treatments. The species with the highest average growth in height were Croton floribundus, Cytharexyllum solanaceum, Casearia gossypiosperma, Croton urucurana, Colubrina glandulosa, Lafoensia pacari, Inga marginata e Myrsine guianensis. The species with the highest average growth in stem diameter were Acnistus arborescens, Croton urucurana, Apeiba tibourbou, Croton floribundus, Inga marginata, Campomanesia xanthocarpa, Colubrina glandulosa and Lafoensia pacari. The species with the highest average growth in crown diameter were Croton urucurana, Croton floribundus, Cytharexyllum solanaceum, Acacia polyphyla, Colubrina glandulosa, Inga marginata, Lafoensia pacari and Rhamnidium elaeocarpum. As for the percentage coverage in the soil and grasses, there was significant difference in the dense and conventional treatment compared to witness. It is concluded that the above species are indicated for use in future restoration projects in areas of Rain Forest. Both treatments showed greatest shading (in comparison with witness) at the end of the monitoring period, thereby enabling a reduction of exotic grasses. However, in dense treatment was no shading and greater control of grasses. Thus, it can be concluded that at higher cost of implementation and the similar results, the dense treatment was not recommended thickened in the region.
O bioma Mata Atlântica é considerado um hotspot para conservação da biodiversidade, por apresentar grande diversidade biológica, alto grau de endemismo e elevada ameaça de degradação. Este cenário tem despertado preocupação com relação à busca de informações para subsidiar projetos de recuperação das áreas degradadas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o crescimento, porcentagem de cobertura no solo e a sobrevivência de espécies da Mata Atlântica, provenientes do plantio de mudas em diferentes tratamentos, presentes em uma área particular em processo de recuperação, na região Vale do Ribeira, Sete Barras-SP. No ano de 2004, o proprietário fez a supressão da vegetação para implantação de pasto com braquiária. No ano de 2009, a UFSCar foi procurada para implantar o projeto de “Recuperação experimental de áreas degradadas”, onde foram plantadas mudas, distribuídas em espaçamentos de 1,5x 2 m (tratamento adensado) e 3 x 2 m (tratamento convencional). Neste estudo, a partir de julho de 2013 foi realizado o monitoramento da área para avaliar o crescimento e a sobrevivência das mudas plantadas assim como a porcentagem de sombreamento e gramíneas. Foram realizados cinco levantamentos (julho de 2013, outubro de 2013, janeiro de 2014, abril de 2014 e julho de 2014) para avaliar a sobrevivência e o crescimento (altura, diâmetro do colo e diâmetro da copa) das mudas. Após 30 meses do plantio, dos 220 indivíduos levantados inicialmente neste estudo, a sobrevivência foi de 85,2% no tratamento adensado e 84,8% no tratamento convencional, ou seja, a mortalidade ficou em torno de 15% para ambos os tratamentos. As espécies que apresentaram as maiores médias de crescimento em altura foram Croton floribundus, Cytharexyllum solanaceum, Casearia gossypiosperma, Croton urucurana, Colubrina glandulosa, Lafoensia pacari, Inga marginata e Myrsine guianensis. As espécies que apresentaram maior crescimento em diâmetro do colo foram Acnistus arborescens, Croton urucurana, Apeiba tibourbou, Croton floribundus, Inga marginata, Campomanesia xanthocarpa, Colubrina glandulosa e Lafoensia pacari. As espécies que apresentaram maior crescimento em diâmetro da copa foram Croton urucurana, Croton floribundus, Cytharexyllum solanaceum, Acacia polyphyla, Colubrina glandulosa, Inga marginata, Lafoensia pacari e Rhamnidium elaeocarpum. Quanto à porcentagem de cobertura no solo e gramíneas, houve diferença significativa no tratamento adensado e convencional em comparação com testemunho. Conclui-se que as espécies acima são indicadas para serem utilizadas em futuros projetos de restauração em área de Floresta Ombrófila Densa. Ambos os tratamentos apresentaram maior sombreamento (em comparação com testemunho) no final do período de monitoramento, possibilitando assim a diminuição das gramíneas exóticas. No entanto, no tratamento adensado não houve maior sombreamento e controle de gramíneas. Dessa forma, pode-se concluir que pelo maior custo de implantação e pelos resultados similares, o tratamento adensado não seria recomendado na região.

Full textThe activity of forest restoration is often performed in areas covered by exotic grasses. In this way, the weed control of these plants is a determining factor in the success of restoration. This project aims to test different interventions for Urochloa decumbens Stapf. control in an area of forest restoration with seedlings planting in total area. The design adopted was split plot treatments divided in blocks, with each plot with different kind of soil tillage systems: 1. tillage (no soil movement) and 2. Harrowing (ground motion); and subplots with: 1. herbicide application in the installation and during maintenance (H); 2. herbicide application and planting of bean (Canavalia ensiformis DC.) in the installation and maintenance on mowing (FP + H); 3. herbicide application and planting beans (Cajanus cajan L.) in the installation and maintenance on mowing (H + FG); 4. planting bean (Canavalia ensiformis DC.) in the installation and maintenance on mowing (FP), 5. planting bean (Cajanus cajan L.) in the installation and maintenance on mowing (FG); and 6. no herbicide application nor planting green manure in the installation and the maintenance on mowing (s / Hs / AV). The grass height and percentage of occupation in of the soil was measured, as well the height, canopy area and mortality of seedlings, all of them analyzed by the SAS statistical package. In the period between planting and first maintenance (3 months), the living roofs in the interaction R (H + FP) and R (H + FG) controlled the percentage of invasive exotic grasses in the soil, and the treatments (H + FP) and ( H + FG) controlled the height of grasses in the first month. After the first maintenance, only the treatment (H) controlled the grasses in percentage of occupancy in the soil and height. Regarding the variables referred to the seedlings, only the canopy area showed a significant difference between treatments (H) and (s / Hs / AV) 7 months after planting and the (H) treatment showed a difference among all others, 9 months after planting,, as well its showed the biggest area. In this experiment the use of green manure in the area of forest restoration did not improve seedling growth.

Full textRiparian forests restoration can be the best way to stop the degradation process of the water resources. However, there is no agreement about how to do that, what are the best species and planting techniques and how to evaluate the planted forests. This study was based upon a planted riparian forest, along Tarumã River, Tarumã municipality, São Paulo State. Twenty nine species were planted, being 28 native and one introduced species. Trees were planted in four different species combinations, as follows: Module - A 100% pioneer species; Module - B 50% pioneer and 50% no pioneer species; Module - C mixed; Module - D 100% Pinus. The four modules were evaluated ten year after planting, considering: forest structure, density, richness and diversity of natural regeneration, litter deposition and chemical properties of surface soil. These results of the planted forest were compared with a forest remnant - (E) located close to the experimental area. Differences were found among treatments and in comparison with the natural forest, for most of the parameters considered. Basal area, DBH, and maximum height were lower than in the forest fragment. Trees density is still higher in the planted forest than in the natural one, even the mortality rates have been high. Ten years were not enough to make the planted forest structure similar to the natural forest. Comparing the planted species performance, there is a group of high survival rates: Inga uruguensis, Croton urucurana and Schinus terebinthifolius. Another group presented species with high increment in height and diameter: Anadenanthera macrocarpa, Enterolobium contortisiliquum, Croton urucurana and Pinus elliottii var. densa. Natural regeneration density and richness under the planted forest were also different among treatments, in decreasing order: mixed planting - 50% pioneer + 50% no pioneer - 100% pioneer - pure Pinus. Among the species surveyed, zoochory is the main dispersion syndrome and 62% of the species were not planted. They were, probably, brought by animal dispersers. Litter production was higher in pure Pinus planting than in the other treatrnents. However, nutrients concentration is lower than in treatments with native species. So, total quantity of mineral elements that return to the soil is higher in those forests planted with native species. In addition, chemical properties of surface soil under Pinus forests (H + AI, pH, Ca, Mg, etc.) are worse than under other treatments. This study leads to conclusion that, among the tested treatments, the mixed planting with native species (C) was the most similar to the native forest in structure, diversity and natural regeneration. The worst result, under the environmental conditions of this study, was obtained with the pure stand of Pinus elliottii var. densa.

Full textIn degraded environments, ecological restoration aims to accelerate the process of ecological succession. The most widely used technique for restoration of degraded environments is the planting of seedlings. The selection of species is crucial to the success of the restoration projects, because the species need to establish and grow under the harsh conditions of the environment. Using the approach of functional traits can be a promising tool to assist in the selection of species in restoration projects. In forest environments, there is evidence that functional traits affect the performance of the species, however, there are few studies conducted in areas undergoing restoration. In this study, the relationship between the functional leaf traits and the relative growth rate in height and in diameter at ground level of native tree species planted in a degraded area that is being restored was evaluated. To describe the relationship between the functional traits and the relative growth rate (RGR) of individuals, we used the approach of model selection based on linear mixed effects models (LMEM). The selection of models was performed using Akaike\'s Information Criterion (AIC). The functional traits showed no relationship with the relative growth rate in height and diameter of the individuals of the species, possibly due to differences in environmental conditions between forest environments and degraded environments. Despite not finding a relationship between the functional traits and the RGR, the most plausible model selected indicates that larger individuals at the beginning of monitoring have lower relative growth rates in height, that is, taller individuals have lower rates of growth in height. Considering that no relationship between the morphological functional traits and the relative growth rate in an area undergoing restoration was found, it is reasonable to assume that this approach cannot be applied in all environments. Studies that assess functional traits of the leaf in the different stages of plant development in degraded environments can refine these analyses and help define whether the selection of species for restoration projects can be accomplished using the approach of functional characteristics

Full textA Mata Atlântica, um dos ecossistemas mais devastados e seriamente ameaçados do planeta desde a colonização, foi marcada pelo uso intensivo da terra, seja para exploração de produtos como o pau-brasil, a cana-de-açúcar, o café e o cacau, ou pelo uso para atividades pecuárias. Como consequência do seu histórico de degradação, esse bioma encontra-se altamente fragmentado e um grande número de espécies endêmicas são consideradas ameaçadas de extinção. Nesse sentido, a restauração florestal tem sido um meio de intervenção eficaz que busca proporcionar aos ecossistemas degradados condições mínimas para o restabelecimento de processos ecológicos. Com a expansão do número de trabalhos e de técnicas empregadas na restauração de diferentes ecossistemas, houve a necessidade do estabelecimento de indicadores que permitissem realizar avaliações periódicas, verificando se os objetivos estabelecidos nesses trabalhos foram alcançados. Um dos indicadores utilizados para analisar o status de desenvolvimento de áreas em processo de restauração ecológica é a regeneração natural. Ela se refere à entrada de novos indivíduos e espécies, por meio da chuva de sementes, banco de sementes do solo e do banco de plântulas. Além disso, levantamentos florísticos nessas áreas permitem avaliar o sucesso no estabelecimento das espécies plantadas, assim como analisar se houve incremento de espécies por meio dos mecanismos de dispersão. O presente estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de conhecer o processo de regeneração natural em uma área de povoamento misto em Mata Atlântica, no município de Laranjeiras, Sergipe, após 12 anos de plantio, bem como conhecer quais as espécies compõem a flora da área. Para estudos da regeneração natural foram utilizadas 30 parcelas fixas (20m x 30m). Em cada parcela foi coletada uma amostra de solo (0,25 m x 0,25 m x 0,05 m) para estimativa do banco de sementes. Para a avaliação da chuva de sementes foram utilizados coletores de madeira de 1 m², instalados no centro de cada parcela. Para o banco de plântulas foi mensurado o diâmetro e altura dos indivíduos arbustivos-arbóreos com circunferência a altura do solo ≤ 15 cm presentes nas subparcelas de 1 m² em cada parcela. Para análise da composição florística foram realizadas expedições de coletas mensais no período de agosto de 2016 a junho de 2017 em toda a área estudada. Na chuva de sementes foram coletadas 10.070 sementes, distribuídas em 37 espécies, com predominância de indivíduos arbustivo-arbóreos (50%) e da síndrome de dispersão zoocórica (46,67%). No banco de sementes, constatou-se a presença de 12.322 sementes, pertencentes a 53 espécies, predominantemente formado por espécies herbáceas (30,19%), com destaque para a família Asteraceae. No banco de plântulas, foram amostrados 169 indivíduos, distribuídos em 24 espécies, com predomínio de pioneiras e secundárias iniciais, podendo-se inferir que a área encontra-se em estádio inicial de sucessão. Dentre as espécies regenerantes com maiores Valores de Importância (VI) destacou-se Genipa americana L., seguida por Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi. e Inga vera Willd. Juntas, essas três espécies representaram cerca de 70,05% do VI. No levantamento florístico, observou-se a ocorrência de 146 espécies distribuídas em 50 famílias, com maior representatividade das famílias Fabaceae (26 spp.) e Asteraceae (16 spp.). Das 34 espécies utilizadas no plantio inicial do reflorestamento, 27 foram registradas nesse estudo (79,41%), o que indica que estas espécies apresentaram um bom estabelecimento e são potenciais na restauração de áreas degradadas localizadas na Mata Atlântica no estado de Sergipe.

Full textThis study assessed the effects of three Eucalyptus harvesting systems on physical attributes of the soil and structure of the native vegetation of understory, in a stand of Eucalyptus saligna Smith. abandoned for 40 years. The study area is situated in the Experimental Station of Forest Resources Science of ESALQ-USP (University of São Paulo - Brazil) in the municipality of Itatinga - São Paulo state - Brazil. The experiment was a randomized block design, with nine parcels and three repetitions, due to the spatial heterogeneity of eucalypt density and native vegetation. Three treatments were analyzed: CCV - conventional harvesting with mechanized extraction; CIR1 - reduced impact with mechanized harvesting; and CIR2 - reduced impact harvesting for firewood associated with animal extraction (DBH 30 cm) and with mechanized extraction for logs (DBH > 30 cm). The analyses bulk density, penetration resistance, soil disturbance and vegetation damages were performed in two phases: after extraction for firewood and for logs. The variables for the study on soil effects were: four classes of surface disturbances (m2.ha-1): \"no-disturbances\", \"light\", \"moderate\" and \"severe disturbances\"; penetration resistance (MPa) and bulk density (g.cm-3). The results showed the occurrence of critical theoretical values for penetration resistance (2.5 MPa) and relative increase over 15% for bulk density, on the classes of moderate and severe disturbances with the use of mechanized extraction. At the end of the harvesting, the treatments CIR1 and CIR2 showed smaller area of these classes of disturbances, with 1,151 m2.ha-1 and 1,094 m2.ha-1, respectively, statistically different in relation to CCV, with 2,620 m2.ha-1. The variables for studies on effects of vegetation structure were: three classes of tree damages: intact, damaged and dead; and remaining basal area (m2.ha-1). At the end of the harvesting, the treatments CIR1 and CIR2 showed relatively lower rates of dead trees, 33% and 38%, respectively, statistically differing in relation to CCV, which showed a rate of 49%. The treatments CIR1 and CIR2 showed higher values for basal area, 5.50 m2.ha-1 and 5.40 m2.ha-1, respectively, statistically differing from CCV that showed basal area of 4.32 m2.ha-1. Final conclusions were, that the occurrence of significant effects of physical attributes of soil and vegetation structure is an inevitable fact in wood extraction. However, treatments CIR1 and CIR2 allowed to conclude that it is possible to minimize moderate and severe disturbances in the soil, reduce tree deaths and promote larger remaining basal area of native species. Therefore, the harvesting systems of reduced impact are the best alternatives for wood extraction in abandoned eucalypt stands, as a managing process of forests to turn them into areas of legal reserve.

Full textRestoration actions in degraded areas have been widely used, as much for legal requirements as for initiatives of groups worried about the ambient quality, in this way not having an standardizing of this actions. Appearing the necessity to evaluate if the employed methodologies are reaching its objective and providing a self-sustentation of the formed forest community. The present work had as objective to describe the community of tree and shrub from restored area, by a high diversity plantation, after 18 and 20 years of your implementation. The study was developed in Semideciduous Seasonal Forests (FES) at Iracemápolis City in São Paulo, Southeastern of Brazil (22°35\'S and 47°31\' W). The regional climate is Cwa, according to Köppen classification, with precipitation varying from 1.100 to 1.700mm per year. The plantation was realized between 1988 and 1990, in approximately 50ha. It was realized a floristic and phytosociological survey from two areas with 1,0ha each, where had been sampled individuals with perimeter at breast height equal or bigger than 10cm for calculate phytosociological parameter and diversity indices of equability. The showed species had been classified according to sucessional class and the syndrome of dispersion. Forest physiognomy was verified in the two studied areas. It has been found 2,532 individuals alive, distributed in 52,05% at area 1 and 47, 95% at area 2, and were distributed in 143 species, composing 40 families. The canopy heights had been less than found in FES remained, however, the diversity and equability index, and the absolute density has been among the value obtained to FES. The species that had presented greater growth had been Lafoensia glyptocarpa, Melia azedarach, Pterocarpus violaceus, Centrolobium tomentosum, Cariniana estrellensis, Triplaris americana, Cariniana legalis and Balfourodendron riedelianum in the area 1 and Luehea divaricata, Pterogyne nitens, Citharexylum myrianthum and Triplaris americana in area 2. Had been verified individuals with different vegetal life forms from introduced species as well as tree and shrub species different from implemented. Most of the regenerate individual was from pioneering and initial secondary species, and the biggest species, in height and in basal area had been coming from the planted species. It is concluded that the two areas are restored and present characteristic of secondary vegetation, the initial composition from used species and respective sucessional class had influenced the forest composition formed with 18 and 20 years. The use of high diversity in plantations of restoration present with high importance to re-establishing of the structure, enabling the development of existing process in a natural forests, especially in areas not connected with fragments of natural forests.

Full textThe reduction of forest cover and the intensive agricultural use of the soil result in the necessity of adopting expensive restoration interventions, which restrict the expansion of this activity and the mitigation of the impacts of human activities on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Thus, the exploitation of wood in restoration forests may be an alternative for the economic viability of this activity. Particularly noteworthy are the opportunities offered by the exploitation of short rotation exotic tree species, which anticipate the profit obtained from restoration and may contribute to the amortization of implantation costs. However, even though the intercropping with exotic trees is authorized by the current environmental legislation as a method for forest restoration, little is known concerning the possible negative effects of the use of these species in restoration models. This research aimed to evaluate the ecological and silvicultural impacts of the use and harvest of Eucalyptus temporarily mixed with native tree species in the restoration of the Atlantic Forest. We evaluated three experiments in the states of Bahia and Espírito Santo, which used Eucalyptus as a commercial pioneer species to generate income after the first rotation (around 4-5 years) and then removed from the system. Eucalyptus had no negative influence over native species\' survival and growth when compared to pure native species plantations, as well as over natural regeneration of native species in the understory. We also evaluated the impacts of harvesting Eucalyptus in two of these three experiments and found that the Eucalyptus harvesting operation causes significant damage to planted native trees and results in opening of the forest canopy (considering that Eucalyptus represents 50% of the individuals planted and 90% of the basal area), but these damages were partially minimized within only 14 months after harvesting. Thus, we conclude that for the environmental conditions evaluated, the mixture with Eucalyptus in this alternative forest restoration approach did not affect the development of native tree species neither the expression of natural regeneration, which makes its use valuable. Further studies are necessary, however, to follow the succession trajectories of forest restoration models in the medium and long runs, to validate the recommendation of their use with more consolidated scientific basis.

Full textThe purpose of this study was to indentify the most appropriated restoration model by manipulating floristic composition and silvicultural practices, and to understand how the best development was explained by the factors that controls light use and light use efficiency at the canopy. A \"Restoration models for Atlantic Forest disturbed lands aiming carbon sequestration\" experiment was installed in 2004 using 20 Brazilian woody species and 8 forest restoration systems, in a factorial 23 design, with 3 factors and two levels per factor: i) Floristic composition with 67% and 50% of pioneer species; ii) Plant spacing (3x1m e 3x2m); and iii) Silvicultural management with usual (higher environmental stress level); and maximum (lower environmental stress level) silvicultural practices due to weed control and fertilization. Wood net primary production (WNPP), based on inventory surveys and wood density of all 20 species, leaf area index (LAI, with hemispherical pictures), absorbed photossintetically active radiation (APAR, on meteorological stations and LAI), light use efficiency (LUE=WNPP/APAR) and canopy nitrogen content was measured or estimated up to 42 months-old. The floristic composition proportion, with 50% and 67% of pioneers, were statistically equivalent, in all ages, for WNPP, LAI and LUE. The 3x1m spacing provided larger biomass stock at age of 42 months, comparatively to the 3x2m planting (13.0 Mg.ha-1 versus 10.3 Mg. ha-1), due a higher productivity until 24 months. However, WNPP of both spacing were equivalent after 36 months (5.5 Mg.ha-1year-1). The higher productivity of the 3x1m spacing was directly related to its greater leaf area index comparatively to the 3x2m spacing (0,98 m2m-2 versus 0.71 m2m-2). The maximum silvicultural practices provided a 4-fold increase on wood biomass at age 42 months, comparatively to the usual practices (18.6 Mg.ha-1 versus 4.6 Mg.ha-1). This larger stock was explained by a higher LAI (1.34 m2m-2 versus 0.34 m2m-2) leading to higher WNPP (8.5 Mg.ha-1year-1 versus 2.4 Mg. ha-1year-1, at 42 months). The Spacing x Management interaction was significant for LAI, LUE and WNPP, meaning that 3x2m and 3x1m spacing had distinct responses to environmental stress levels, showing that 3x2m depends on intensive silvicultural practices to express its maximum productivity. Finally, the WNPP was strongly related to LAI during summer months (at 36 months) (r2=0,96), and this relationship increased by the inclusion of canopy nitrogen content, showing that these two variables have a potential to be used to evaluate forest restoration quality and productivity. Thus, for the study conditions, the best model was: Composition 50%:50% of pioneer:non-pioneer species, 3x2m spacing, and the maximum silvicultural practices, with total weed control (Brachiaria decumbens) and fertilization.

Full textMining is one of the human activities with the highest impact in natural resources. It can profoundly affect the resilience of ecosystems due to the high level of soil degradation and landscape alteration. Thus, many mined areas are not effectively recovered enough to restore important part of biodiversity and ecosystem services lost. However, new ecological restoration methods showed promising results even in such intense degradation situations such as mining. Thus, it is needed to review the minimum levels of environmental quality required for areas that have been mined and need to recovered to mitigate the impacts and compliance with legal demands of environmental compensation. Thus, the general objective of this study is to evaluate the physical, chemical and microbiological soil in bauxite mining areas under ecological restoration. We initially evaluated soil restoration in bauxite mines located in the county of \"Poços de Caldas\", aiming to contextualize soil improvement through various chemical, physical and microbiological parameters in newly mined areas, restoration of different ages and remaining native forest. We found that forest restoration was effective in triggering a soil recovery process, which resulted in the recuperation, in a few years, of the chemical, physical and microbiological characteristics already very similar values to the references. We then evaluated the recovery of soil phosphorus for the restoration of tropical forests in bauxite mines, and obtained as main results the recovery of important fractions of soil P, litter production and forest structure along the successional trajectory in young restored areas after mining. Ecological restoration proved to be able to quickly restore important soil properties, showing the potential of ecological restoration approach to mitigate the negative environmental impacts of mining. Thus, it is emphasized that public policies to mitigate environmental damage caused by mining may require higher levels of environmental quality in mining recovery areas, protecting the collective interests involved in the mediation of interests between business and society.
