Application of geostatistics in mapping the productive capacity of forest stands is an important tool to guide decision making regarding precision silviculture. In this study, we investigated the productive capacity of teak clonal plantations and its spatial dependence, making the site mapping...

Teak is a tree with significant economic potential and enjoys acceptance in both the national and international markets. In Brazil, its cultivation has been steadily increasing, particularly in the northern regions of the country. In its natural range, teak occupies areas between 8o and 25o North...

Besides the large areas occupied by agroforestry systems in the tropics, little is yet known about the potential for producing high quality timber in these areas. In this study, we tested the effect of three different planting densities of timber species mixed with rubber and cocoa agroforestry...

The search for products from Teak is increasing due to its physico-mechanical characteristics. Its cultivation is increasing due to the added value of the wood. In order to minimize the cycle to obtain its products, it is necessary to use methods to monitor and identify the quality of the...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the silvicultural behavior of seven forest species introduced in initial arrangement for a livestock-forestry integration system on degraded pasture in Lavras, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The study was installed in a randomized block design of four...

Teak meets the main criteria for selection of tree species for timber production of rapid growth. Thus choosing the proper spacing will provide the largest volume per area and stems with desirable quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of spacing in several dendrometric...

The teak (Tectona grandis L. f.) wood properties direct an intense process of domestication and plantation outside its original habitat. The interest in the species as an alternative for the traditional forest plantations in Brazil is growing. This review contributes with the recovery of technical...

The intensity of the first selective thinning was evaluated in two Tectona grandis plantations, 3.0×3.0 m, in Brazil. In the four-year-old plantation, thinning was 20, 30 and 40% in density and in the five-year-old, it was 30, 40 and 50%. Each treatment was applied in eight random blocks of 35...

The objective of this study was to develop and quantitatively evaluate a diametric distribution model for the management of thinned teak (Tectona grandis L. f.) stands. Model construction involved data from a net of permanent plots established in teak stands, in Mato Grosso State, Brazil, owned by...

The present paper reports a technical evaluation of a teak stand (Tectona grandis L. f.), sited in Cáceres, MT. A random-block experimental design was undertaken with a stand of teak trees with initial densities varying from 833 to 2.000 plants per hectare, planted in simple and double rows, and...
