The effects of climatic changes in the Amazon basin can be studied through dendroclimatology, from the analysis of the relations between climatic and meteorological variables and the growth of the xylem of arboreal species. The xylem constitutes a true natural file because it allows the recording...

Sustainable management is of extreme importance for future preservation, multiple use, profitable production and enhancement of Araucaria Forest in southern Brazil. Thus, with the width measures of the increment rings, it is possible to adjust the growth of species over time, to obtain the cutting...

Araucaria (Araucaria angustifolia), also known as Paraná pine, is present in the Mixed Ombrophilous Forest, a phytophysiognomy of the Atlantic Forest biome, and is considered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to be threatened. endangered and vulnerable to global climate...

Cryptomeria japonica is indigenous to the temperate region of Japan, where it is known as 'sugi'. In Brazil, the plantation of this species is recommended for the highlands and cold regions in the southern, where it is well adapted to the edaphoclimatic conditions. The aim of the study was to...

Commercial plantations of Ocotea porosa available for studying are scarce and therefore should be used as a source of information to establish the potential for management of the species in plantations, even if these evaluations were not been held along the stand development. The recovery of the...

The study aimed to determine the age of sampled species, the annual average increment in diameter and the annual sequestration volume and rate of carbon and carbon dioxide per ha.year^-1 for a fragment characterized as Cerrado. On hundred and twenty trees of the 15 species that showed greater...

This study had as objective to analyze the growth of thickness of growth rings of trees of Araucaria angustifolia, present in Tapera city, Rio Grande do Sul. In this study, it was used 44 Araucaria angustifolia samples, analyzed in the past six decades, to find an equation, using regression models...

Zanthoxylum rhoifolium Lam is a species of wide occurrence in Brazilian forests and its wood has potential multiple uses. However, for the better knowledge of this species, studies of its ecology and dynamics in the forest are necessary. In order to contribute to the advances of native forest...

The tree growth is influenced by several factors intrinsic and extrinsic, varying not only between species but between also responding to environmental changes and ecological conditions, or site factors. However, the weather, specifically the air temperature and precipitation stand out as the...

Dendrochronology is a science that studies the growth rings of trees and provides answers regarding not only their age, but also any disturbances in their development over time. The present study aimed to know the age of Acer negundo trees, as well as to reconstruct the influence of climatic...
