Levantamento dendrométrico de um povoamento clonal de Tectona grandis, em sistema silvipastoril

摘要

Production of Tectona grandis (teak) in integrated systems with livestock or agriculture demonstrates high potential of financial return. However, studies on the development of teak are still scarce, especially in the northern region state of Mato Grosso. In this study we sought to evaluate dendometric variables of a clonal population of teak in a forest-livestock integration system (LFIS), during a period of 53 months in the city of Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso, Brazil. For this purpose, three installments were samples, a total of 360 individuals, and for each the diameter was measured at 1.3 meters from the base so as to calculate the total volume, the current annual increment (CAI) and mean annual increment (MAI), and five adjusted regression models. The Hoerl model provided the highest adjusted coefficient of determination (R 2 aj), lowest standard error of estimate (Syx), coefficient of variation (CV %), and from this the growth curves were developed. Clonal stands of teakin the forest-livestock system presented increases in DBH, height and volume were superior in relation to other scientific studies with teak, indicating their viability in integrated systems with pastures in the region .
