Physical properties of thermally modified juvenile and mature wood of Hevea brasiliensis (Euphorbiaceae)
(Floresta e Ambiente, 2020) [Artigo]Exposing timber to temperatures approaching 200 °C causes thermal modification and changes its characteristics. This study evaluates the effect of various levels of thermal treatment on the physical properties of juvenile ... -
Influence of tree bunching angles on the productivity and costs of a full tree system
(Scientia Forestalis/Forest Sciences, 2019) [Artigo]The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of different angulations of the tree bunching on the time, productivity and costs of a full tree harvesting system composed by a feller-buncher and a skidder. The ... -
Disentangling the effects of genotype and environment on growth and wood features of Balfourodendron riedelianum trees by common garden experiments in Brazil
(Forests, 2020) [Artigo]Intraspecific studies with populations replicated in different sites allow the effects of genotype and environment on wood features and plant growth to be distinguished. Based on climate change predictions, this distinction ... -
Survival of thermotolerant coliforms in municipal biosolids after application in tropical soil cultivated with Eucalyptus
(Journal of Environmental Management, 2020) [Artigo]The increasing production of biosolids in urban areas has been led to a search for alternative disposal avenues of this residue, which is rich in organic matter and nutrients. Agricultural land application of biosolids, ... -
Herbicides selectivity on seedlings of White Leadtree (Leucaena leucocephala)
(Cientifica, 2020) [Artigo]Difficulty in controlling weeds has hindered the success of vegetation recovery projects using white leadtree (Leucaena leucocephala) seedlings in degraded areas. The use of herbicides is indispensable to mitigate damage ... -
Root xylem in three woody angiosperm species is not more vulnerable to embolism than stem xylem
(Plant and Soil, 2020) [Artigo]Aims: Since plants are compartmentalised organisms, failure of their hydraulic transport system could differ between organs. We test here whether xylem tissue of stems and roots differ in their drought-induced embolism ... -
Savannas after afforestation: Assessment of herbaceous community responses to wildfire versus native tree planting
(Biotropica, 2020) [Artigo]Afforestation and fire exclusion are pervasive threats to tropical savannas. In Brazil, laws limiting prescribed burning hinder the study of fire in the restoration of Cerrado plant communities. We took advantage of a 2017 ... -
Anatomical variation in vascular attributes of wood of Astronium fraxinifolium Schott trees from the soil loan area of a hydroelectric plant and an experimental plantation
(Flora, 2020) [Artigo]The survival of plants is linked to their capacity to respond to environmental selection. Plants may show different wood anatomical features related to survival, such as an increase in parenchyma and decrease in diameter ... -
Site index estimation for clonal eucalypt plantations in Brazil: A modeling approach refined by environmental variables
(Forest Ecology And Management, 2020) [Artigo]Growth models have been applied to assess the growth potential for areas without previous forest plantation records and to update forest inventory when commercial stands have been planted. However, there is a lack of growth ... -
The level of relatedness affects self/nonself discrimination in Eucalyptus urophylla seedlings
(Canadian Journal Of Forest Research, 2020) [Artigo]Plants can develop differentially because of their ability of self/nonself discrimination and the degree of kinship among them. Here, we evaluate the ability of self/nonself discrimination of Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake ... -
Root parasitism by Scybalium fungiforme Schott & Endl. is not random among host species in seasonal tropical forest
(Acta Botanica Brasilica, 2020) [Artigo]Though they comprise 1 % of plant species on the planet, plant parasites are poorly known. They have been considered a threat to cultivated plants and to the conservation of host species in natural areas. Due to the complex ... -
Stand-level growth and yield model system for clonal eucalypt plantations in Brazil that accounts for water availability
(Forest Ecology And Management, 2019) [Artigo]Growth and yield (G &Y) model systems aim at forecasting forest productivity. The lack of environmental variables to account for how water availability constrains eucalyptus production in Brazil, however, is argued to be ... -
Screening of Aspergillus, Bacillus and Trichoderma strains and influence of substrates on auxin and phytases production through solid-state fermentation
(Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology, 2019) [Artigo]Crop inoculation with microorganisms is an agricultural technique that has been used to stimulate plant growth and development by different mechanisms, such as the production of P solubilizing enzymes, the phytases, and ... -
ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS: a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South America
(Ecology, 2019) [Data paper]Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, ... -
Axial sampling height outperforms site as predictor of wood trait variation
(IAWA Journal, 2019) [Artigo]Covariation amongst wood traits along the stem axis is important to maintain hydraulic integrity ensuring sufficient sap flow to the canopy. Here, we test how wood traits (co)vary along the trunk and whether two seasonally ... -
Medium and large-sized mammals in an Atlantic Forest fragment of Brazil: Recording of threatened species
(Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2019) [Artigo]Deforestation and habitat fragmentation affect to a great extent larger wild mammals, which require large areas to establish their populations. These mammals can have important functions in the structure and dynamics of ... -
Savanna trees do not have thicker outer bark than forest trees of two tropical species
(Flora: Morphology, Distribution, Functional Ecology of Plants, 2019) [Artigo]Although the outer bark is important for protecting the inner tissues of stems of woody plants, especially from fire, the variation of outer bark in environments with different water availability, wind intensities, and ... -
Lignocellulosic Materials for Production of Cement Composites: Valorization of the Alkali Treated Soybean Pod and Eucalyptus Wood Particles to Obtain Higher Value-Added Products
(Waste and Biomass Valorization, 2018) [Artigo]Brazil, as a predominantly agricultural country is the second largest world producer of soybean. Consequently, these plantations are responsible for high production of agricultural wastes. For reusing the large volume of ... -
Estimation, zoning and sensitive analyses of forest productivity of Eucalyptus in northeast Saõ Paulo using the 3-PG model
(Scientia Forestalis/Forest Sciences, 2018) [Artigo]The productivity zoning at the landscape level can help forest managers on land use decision making, based on correct area selection for the crop. The goal of this research was to estimate and generate a Eucalyptus ... -
