Description
Summary:This research aims at analyzing the growth in volume of Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze in the region of Serra do Sudeste (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) and also proposing a growth equation in volume. Data were obtained by trunk analysis, considering, firstly, transverse sections of trees at 0.10 and 1.30 m heigths; after-words, the measurement taken into accoumt was 2.0 in 2.0 m height. Such trees were cut in natural settlements, having resulted the volume per age. The wirk demonstrated that species in this area has significant increments, reaching, after 60 years, a volume eithout bark of 0.6866 m³, with an annual average increament in volume without bark of of 0.01585 m³/year.
