| Summary: | Volume growth of pau-ferro trees (Astronium balansae) of a native forest and a twelve-years old
plantation was studied using stem analysis technique. Analysis of cross-sectional discs allowed only to
quantify the growth of the plantation trees because it was not possible to identify the tree rings in the native
forest cross-sections. Growth data was modeled with a stepwise regression procedure which resulted in
equations of high precision and good fit to describe the mean and current annual increment of a tree from
the dominant and another from the dominated stratum. It was not possible to detect the point of maximum
increment because of the little age of the trees. |
