Resumo
A Araucaria angustifolia é a espécie chave das florestas ombrófilas mistas, cuja distribuição está associada à climas frios, entretanto pouco se sabe a respeito das respostas da espécie à temperatura. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da temperatura no desempenho de sementes, plântulas e mudas. As respostas das sementes foram avaliadas em condições de laboratório e em condições de campo, levando-se em consideração o efeito do enterrio das sementes, que na natureza é realizado por animais dispersores. Ao contrário do esperado, observou-se que as plântulas e mudas de um ano e meio de idade apresentaram melhor desempenho ecofisiológico em maiores temperaturas e amplitudes térmicas. Também foi observado que o enterrio de sementes proporcionou maiores porcentagens de germinação quando comparado com sementes que não foram enterradas, o que se deve à melhores condições de temperatura e umidade.
Araucaria angustifolia is the key species from mixed ombrophilous forests, whose distribution is associated with cold climates, but the responses of the species to temperature are little known. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the effect of temperature on the performance of seeds, seedlings, and young plants. The seed responses were evaluated under laboratory conditions and field conditions, considering the effect of seed burial, which in nature is carried out by dispersing animals. Contrary to expected, it was observed that seedlings and one year and a half plants presented a better ecophysiological performance at higher temperatures and thermal amplitudes. It was also observed that seed burial provided higher percentages of germination, which is due to the better conditions of temperature and humidity, when compared to seeds that were not buried.
