1. Araucaria angustifolia chloroplast genome sequence and its relation to other Araucariaceae

Abstract Araucaria angustifolia is endemic to southern Brazil. Known as Brazilian pine, A. angustifolia is the only native conifer species with economic and social relevance in this country. Due to massive exploitation, it has suffered a significant population decline and currently is classified as critically endangered. This encouraged the scientific commun

3. ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE OF LOBLOLLY PINE STANDS IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL AS A RESULT OF DIFFERENT CROWN THINNING INTENSITIES1

RESUMO Aproximadamente 1,6 milhões de hectares são cultivados com Pinus no sul do Brasil, principalmente com Pinus taeda L. Mais de um terço dos povoamentos pertencem a produtores de toras independentes, cujos objetivos são maximizar os resultados econômicos. Neste estudo, um experimento de desbastes foi avaliado durante um período de produção de 30

4. Effect of Log Length on Forestry Loading and Unloading

ABSTRACT This study aimed to technically evaluate loading and unloading with different wood lengths . Data used were obtained from log harvesting areas of a forestry company in southern Brazil, on operations with loblolly pine logs. The study addressed the analysis of time and motion, being divided into loading, unloading, mooring and unmooring. Four treatm

5. Brazilian Pine (Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze) Ethnoecology in the Mantiqueira Atlantic Forest

ABSTRACT Araucaria angustifolia is under the domain of the Atlantic Forest, classified as Mixed Ombrophilous Forest (FOM). It is a native species critically threatened due to the intense exploration, to the point of exhaustion, of its natural reserves. This study aims to present the ethnoecological knowledge regarding this species in a community located in t

6. Bacterial communities in mining soils and surrounding areas under regeneration process in a former ore mine

Abstract Human activities on the Earth's surface change the landscape of natural ecosystems. Mining practices are one of the most severe human activities, drastically altering the chemical, physical and biological properties of the soil environment. Bacterial communities in soil play an important role in the maintenance of ecological relationships. This work

7. Simultaneous Equations to Estimate Aboveground Biomass of Pinus caribaea var . hondurensis

ABSTRACT This study aimed to develop equations to predict the biomass of trunks, branches, needles and total individual biomass for Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis . A simultaneous equation system was also adjusted. Twenty (20) trees from the experimental area of the State University of Southwest Bahia (UESB), Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, Brazil, were meas

8. Tree Growth and Nutrient Dynamics in Pine Plantations in Southern Brazil

ABSTRACT For the development of nutrient budget models to recommend lime and fertilizers for agricultural and forestry crops, curves of plant growth and nutrient accumulation are required. Information about how nutrients are partitioned between the different plant organs is also necessary, but still scarce for pine in Brazil. This study evaluated the growth,

10. Experimental Lachesis muta rhombeata envenomation and effects of soursop (Annona muricata) as natural antivenom

Abstract Background In the Atlantic forest of the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, local population often uses the fruit juice and the aqueous extract of leaves of soursop (Annona muricata L.) to treat Lachesis muta rhombeata envenomation. Envenomation is a relevant health issue in these areas, especially due to its severity and because the productio

Pitch canker is one of the most important diseases of pine trees worldwide, including South America. The causal agent of this disease is Fusarium circinatum, a member of the Gibberella fujikuroi complex (GFC). In South America, the species is reported from Colombia, Uruguay and Chile, but is considered a quarantine organism in Brazil. In this study we charac
