Article
Full-text available
The connected fragments of lowland and alluvial deciduous forests present topography with the large pedological and geomorphological variations. Thus, to understand the conditions in these environments, it was studied in details the conditions of soils and landforms present in small tributaries of a watershed in sedimentary geology, in the town of...

Article
Large tropical tree samples are driving new research in dendrochronology. The development of imaging tools for these substantial samples represents a significant challenge. Specifically, tree-ring measurements are strongly associated with images acquired through scanning, with an A3 large-format scanner being the preferred choice for these sizable...

Background Arborists are important in both the maintenance of urban trees and research on forest canopies. Tree climbing is hazardous work. This study investigated the causes of a branch-breaking accident involving a certified arborist. Methods The branch was 11 cm in diameter. The density and mechanics of the branch wood were studied; the measura...

Key message Models of bark thickness and trunk cavity occurrence improve allometry assessments and provide good indicators of the probability of tree decay or vitality—knowledge useful for old-growth tree conservation and management. Abstract This study aimed to model the attributes of Araucaria angustifolia that influence allometry assessments an...
Article
Dendrochronological studies have increasingly explored tropical and subtropical trees, mainly focusing on their climatic signals. In the neotropics, growth ring width chronologies of Araucaria angustifolia have been developed at several localities in the south of its distribution, in the Atlantic forest biome. However, the signals identified in the...

As árvores são essenciais nas paisagens urbanas e rurais. Os elementos arbóreos possuem ampla diversidade de espécies, com características distintas de formas biológicas, interações ecológicas, econômicas e sociais. Algumas espécies arbóreas podem ser classificadas como árvores antigas e veteranas com indivíduos com fisionomias distintas de árvores...

The over time establishment of epiphyte communities on large old-growth trees has shown that epiphyte numbers tend to rise in relation to the size of their phorophytes. The objective of our study was to perform a floristic survey of vascular epiphytes on last large old-growth trees in a subtropical forest and to compare species richness between con...

Ocotea porosa is possibly one of the longest-lived species in the Atlantic Forest, reaching more than 400 years, which makes it relevant for dendrochronological studies. The objective was to characterize the anatomical structure of the growth rings of Ocotea porosa for application in dendrochronology. An increment borer (Ø 5mm) was used to obtain s...

The Araucaria Forest is one of the most threatened ecosystems in Brazil due to selective logging and deforestation, mainly during the 20th century. The great majority of remnants are secondary forests with less than 50 ha, i.e., old-growth fragments are extremely rare. By presenting the characterization of rare old-growth fragments in comparison wi...

Giant Araucaria trees in Brazilian Atlantic forests today are rare but remain critically important for structuring these ecosystems, providing unique and rare habitat elements that can serve as points of reference for their management. Old-growth Araucaria trees, with their complex crowns and big trunk cavities, supply more important ecological ser...

Araucaria angustifolia is an endangered species that occurs in the high and cold regions of southern Brazil. This species has economic importance due to its wood and seeds, as well as playing a fundamental ecological role for the southern fauna and flora. Climate change can affect its distributional area and conservation, making it urgent to invest...

Butia eriospatha (Mart. ex Drude) Becc. is a subtropical endemic palm tree that occurs in the Southern Brazilian Highlands. A vast area of its natural habitat has been lost by land-use changes, placing the species at high risk of extinction. Here, we investigated how environmental variables impact the structure of B. eriospatha populations. We rand...

The largest-size trees were the first ones to be extracted from forests. There are few records of the size of individual large trees for many species threatened with extinction. The objective of this technical note was to measure the monumental-size trunks of Araucaria angustifolia and Ocotea porosa and compare them with the current size of their p...
Article
Full-text available
Loss of large trees due to indiscriminate timber cutting and opening of new areas for human use is a global problem. Brazil is well known for tree species richness within its extensive forested areas composed of various biomes. Giant trees are “key” to recognize the original forest structure. Decline of their populations in Brazil may be estimated...
