The study aimed to analyze the honey of Melipona subnitida to identify the plants visited by these bees in colonies installed in a restinga vegetation in Maranhão state. Honey was collected monthly from July/2017 to June/2018. The honey samples were submitted to the acetolysis method and the pollen grains were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The pollen analysis of honey resulted in 54 pollen types and 26 families. The largest pollen variety was registered in Fabaceae. Quantitative analyzes of pollen grains in honey samples revealed that three were monofloral, in July/2017 with Avicennia germinans honey and December/2017 and January/2018 with Copaifera martii honey. In the other months, the heterofloral honeys. Melipona subnitida proved to be general in food gathering. Knowing the flora used by M. subnita contributes to the meliponiculturists to improve the handling of the colonies, the increase and quality in the production of honey.

The subjugation of global ecosystems by human beings has increased the rates of extinction, threatening not just the well-being of people, but also affecting the natural ecosystems services (Johnson et al., 2017). In Brazil, several forest ecosystems are degraded as a result from the anthropic activities. For this reason, restoring and expanding these environments turned into an important task, which is beneficial for biodiversity, climate, water quality, as well as for providing other ecosystem services (Bright et al., 2017; Houghton & Nassikas, 2018). Due to the forest restoration expansion and the increasing demand for seedlings production, studies focused on the ecophysiology of seed germination in native forest species are on the rise due to their environmental and economic potential use. Moreover, it contributes to the rational exploitation and use of these species (Rodrigues Filho et al., 2019; Santos et al., 2019; Oliveira et al., 2020a). Among the species that may be used on forest restoration is Colubrina glandulosa Perkins (Rhamnaceae). This native species is a pioneer that occurs from the eastern coast of Brazil to Paraguay and Peru. It grows quickly, facilitating the establishment of other species that require shading areas, thus being important for the ecological succession. In addition, it has a huge using potential in carbon compensation projects and its seeds present physical dormancy, which allows them to remain inactive in the seed bank, an important strategy for the population dynamics (Silva et al., 2015; Marcos Filho, 2015; Camara et al., 2017; Morais Júnior et al., 2018; Melo Júnior et al., 2018). However, there is no methodology available in the Rules for Seed Analysis (Brasil, 2009) that determines procedures to be applied for germination tests in this species (Melo Júnior et al., 2018). Abstract This study aimed to define a methodology that, when combined with temperature, can overcome the dormancy and also to determine the adequate substrate and light conditions for germination of Colubrina glandulosa Perkins, contributing to seed analysis and restoration projects. In the experiment of dormancy and temperature, seeds were immersed in sulfuric acid for 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes and set to germinate at temperatures of 20-30 °C, 25 °C and 30 °C. The used substrates were sand, vermiculite, Tropstrato® substrate, coconut powder, blotting paper and paper towel. As for the light supplied, the seeds were subjected to four luminosity regimes: white light, far-red light, red light and light absence. Temperatures of 20-30 °C and 30 °C achieved better results, with exposure in sulfuric acid for 120 and 150 minutes. The substrates sand and vermiculite were the most suitable. The species germinated in all light regimes treatments used.
人类对全球生态系统的征服增加了物种灭绝的速度,不仅威胁到人类的福祉,也影响到自然生态系统的服务(Johnson et al., 2017)。在巴西,一些森林生态系统由于人类活动而退化。因此,恢复和扩大这些环境成为一项重要任务,这有利于生物多样性,气候,水质以及提供其他生态系统服务(Bright et al., 2017;霍顿和纳西卡斯,2018)。随着森林恢复的扩大和对幼苗生产需求的增加,原生森林物种种子萌发的生态生理研究越来越多,因为它们具有潜在的环境和经济价值。此外,它有助于这些物种的合理开发和利用(Rodrigues Filho et al., 2019;Santos等人,2019;Oliveira et al., 2020a)。其中可能用于森林恢复的物种是鼠李科(Rhamnaceae)的Colubrina glandulosa Perkins。这种本地物种是从巴西东海岸到巴拉圭和秘鲁的先驱。它生长迅速,有利于其他需要遮阳区域的物种的建立,因此对生态演替很重要。此外,它在碳补偿项目中具有巨大的利用潜力,其种子存在物理休眠,这使得它们在种子库中保持不活跃,这是种群动态的重要策略(Silva等人,2015;马科斯·菲略,2015;Camara et al., 2017;Morais Júnior et al., 2018;Melo Júnior et al., 2018)。然而,在《种子分析规则》(巴西,2009年)中没有可用的方法来确定该物种发芽试验的应用程序(Melo Júnior et al., 2018)。摘要:本研究旨在确定一种方法,当温度与休眠相结合时,可以克服休眠,并确定合适的萌发基质和光照条件,为种子分析和恢复项目提供依据。在休眠和温度实验中,种子在硫酸中浸泡30、60、90、120和150分钟,并在20-30℃、25℃和30℃的温度下发芽。所用底物为沙子、蛭石、Tropstrato®底物、椰子粉、吸墨纸和纸巾。至于提供的光,种子受到四种光度制度:白光,远红光,红光和无光。20-30°C和30°C的温度下,在硫酸中暴露120和150分钟,效果更好。基质砂和蛭石是最合适的基质。该物种在所有光照条件下都能发芽。

We studied the effect of the suppression of essential nutrients on the growth of T. rosea in the nursery. The design was completely randomized with ten treatments: one that included full fertilization, another without fertilization, and the others with the suppression of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, B, and cationic microelements. Biometric variables (height, stem diameter, shoot dry weight, root dry weight) and functional traits (leaf area and relative growth rate) were evaluated. Phosphorus was the most limiting element. On the contrary, the suppression of Ca generated plants with growth and development similar to those of the FF treatment. Our results confirmed the importance of knowing the particular nutritional needs of individual species, which is to support nursery fertilization practices that produce highly vigorous and quality plants.

Fertilization in the seedling production phase is essential to form quality seedlings. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the appropriate doses of two slow-release fertilizers (SRF1 and SRF2) and their nutrient leaching behavior. For this, five different doses of fertilizers were tested. 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 kg m-3. The height, stem diameter, leaf area, shoot dry mass, root system dry mass, total dry mass, and the Dickson Quality Index were measured, and for each variable the maximum dose of technical efficiency was determined. In addition, was evaluated the electrical conductivity, over time, for determinate the leaching of the nutrients. All the variables had satisfactory growth for field planting. However, the SRF2 resulted in greater seedling growth and also experienced less nutrient loss by leaching, when compared with the SRF1. The both fertilizers could be utilized to seedlings production, at doses of 4.00 kg m-3.

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of nutrient omission on the growth and phytomass production of three tree species native to the Caatinga biome cultivated in degraded Chromic Luvisol samples, under greenhouse conditions. The experiments were conducted from april to june 2015. Three experiments were set up corresponding to three tree species [Myracrodruon urundeuva (Allemão), Caesalpinia ferrea (Mart. ex Tul.), and Amburana cearensis (AC Smith)], in a completely randomized design with eight treatments referring to the addition or not of nutrients to the soil and four replications. The results revealed that Fe and Zn supply was essential for the initial establishment of M. urundeuva and A. cearensis in Chromic Luvisols. For C. ferrea, which has a higher growth rate, fertilization with N, P, and S sources is necessary in addition to Fe and Zn in order to increase its establishment potential in these areas.

The correlation between biological and ecological parameters is essential for the sustainable use of species. This study aimed to assess the relationship between phenological intensity and tannin production in Sideroxylon obtusifolium (Roem. & Schult.) T.D.Penn. in environments with different precipitation regimes. The tannin production and phenological characterization were assessed through the intensity and synchrony of leaves, flower buds, flowers, and fruits in specimens from two microregions of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. The specimens in the municipality of Sumé were not synchronous and fruiting is the least synchronous phenophase, with an index of only 0.17. The specimens in São João do Cariri had synchronization of 0.77, 0.82, and 0.92 for flower bud, flowering, and fruiting phenophases, respectively. The correlation and factorial clustering showed that fruiting has a correlation of -0.75 with the production of tannins, suggesting that low intensity of annual fruiting is necessary for higher tannin production.

This work was carried out in a teak plantation in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The objective was to evaluate technical and economic indicators of the cutting and processing of trees with a track harvester. Twenty complete work shifts were evaluated using direct thinning to determine operational cycle times. Other information was also recorded for the calculation of production costs. The second thinning was performed at 12 years, with a volume of 0.1648 m3/tree, and the third thinning at 18 years with 0.3408 m3/tree. The main finding was an increase in productivity and decrease in production costs with rising tree volumes. For each hour of effective work, 53 trees were cut (339 trees/day), and processed into 1,047 logs. The decrease in the cost of cutting and processing trees in proportion to the increase in the average volume of trees to be extracted was confirmed.

This work aimed to evaluate the monthly growth rate of 100 trees spread in different diametric classes and ecological groups of a secondary forest in the municipality of Igarapé-Açu, Pará, Brazil. These were selected randomly from 30 permanent plots and classified into 5 diametrical classes and separated into two ecological groups: Pioneers and Non-Pioneers. The monthly periodic increment (MPI) in diameter was measured for 11 months by means of diametric bands using digital calipers. The MPI means were evaluated by an analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s mean comparison test. Individuals from both ecological groups had similar increments in the DBH IV diameter class and different in the others. There were mean increments in the diametric classes that did not differ within the ecological groups. The trees analyzed differed in the diametric growth rate according to the diametric classes, ecological groups and the month of analysis.

Aim of this research was to evaluate the relationship between the biometrics of vessel-ray pits (RVP) and intervessel pits (IVP) with the water flow in different axes of Corymbia citriodora wood. C. citriodora wood specimens were used to correlate RVP and IVP dimensions with free water (FWFR), adsorbed (AWFR) and total (TWFR) flow. Correlations were made for three wood axes. Larger diameters of RVP facilitated FWFR, AWFR and TWFR in axial and tangential axis, however reduced permeability in radial direction of wood. Larger openings of IVPs reduced FWFR, AWFR and TWFR in axial axis of wood. Larger IVPs openings allowed higher FWFR and TWFR in wood radial and tangential directions, however, concomitantly reduced AWR. Effect of diameter of RVP and IVP on wood permeability should be evaluated for each axis. Thus, the opening of the C. citriodora wood pits can interfere in its permeability and consequently in its processing. pits affected the permeability to the wood liquid. Consequently, these results are related to the drying of lumber, logs and chips, as well as being important in the impregnation with chemical reagents for the wood preservation and pulp.
