Influencia de la edad en el contenido de fenoles y ligninas en Gmelina arborea (Lamiaceae)

Rev. biol. trop; 72 (1), 2024
Resumen Introducción: La melina (Gmelina arborea), es una especie de gran interés por su madera y propiedades medicinales. En Costa Rica, existen clones genéticamente superiores que se propagan sin el conocimiento de la edad ontogénica y fisiológica de los materiales. Objetivo: Evaluar la relaci...

Tree species composition, growing stock and biomass carbon dynamics of the major timber species in Hindu Kush regions of Pakistan

Braz. j. biol; 84 (), 2024
Using inventory data, this study evaluates the species composition, growing stock volume (GSV), and biomass carbon (BMC) of the five major timber species in the sub-tropical, and temperate/sub-alpine regions of Pakistan. It was found that the stem density varies between 50 and 221 trees ha -1, with a mea...

Sucking insects and their predators on tree canopies of a monocultural stand of Caryocar brasiliense

Braz. j. biol; 84 (), 2024
Abstract Caryocar brasiliense Camb. (Malpighiales: Caryocaraceae) trees are widely distributed throughout the Cerrado ecosystem. The fruits of C. brasiliense trees are used by humans for food and as the main income source in many communities. C. brasiliense conservation is seriously threatened due to hab...

Investigação da produtividade de Aedes aegypti em ocos e reentrâncias de árvores em áreas públicas de Taubaté, SP, Brasil

Investigar a produtividade de imaturos de Aedes aegypti em ocos e reentrâncias de árvores situadas em áreas públicas do município de Taubaté, SP, foi o objetivo deste trabalho. A relevância destes tipos de criadouros naturais está em favorecer a manutenção da espécie em áreas urbanas não con...

Functional traits and performance of woody species on oil-affected soils of the Ecuadorian Amazon

Rev. biol. trop; 71 (1), 2023
Abstract Introduction: Plant functional traits are widely used to predict community productivity. However, they are rarely used to predict the performance (in terms of growth diameter, growth height, survival, and integral response index) of woody species planted in degraded soils. Objective: To eval...

Potencial dendrocronológico de tres especies de Podocarpáceas de la Cordillera de los Andes

Rev. biol. trop; 71 (1), 2023
Resumen Introducción: Poco se conoce del potencial dendrocronológico de las Podocarpáceas en el trópico. Objetivo: Explorar el potencial dendrocronológico de tres especies de podocarpáceas: Retrophyllum rospigliosii, Podocarpus oleifolius y Prumnopitys harmsiana. Métodos: De plantaciones no ...

Crecimiento diamétrico de Guarea guidonia (L.) estimado con modelos no lineales. bosque seco tropical en el norte de Tolima. Colombia.

Introducción: Con el cómputo de modelos matemáticos es posible estimar el tiempo que toma una especie en conseguir un crecimiento máximo o asintótico. En este cálculo, el diámetro de un árbol, a la altura del pecho (D.A.P.), es una variable cómoda de medir durante largo tiempo. La diferencia ent...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi activity in the rhizosphere of tree seedlings subjected to residual herbicides

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract Trees occurring on the margins of agricultural areas can mitigate damage from residual herbicides. Rhizospheric microbial activity associated with trees is one of the main remedial capacity indicators. The objective of this study was to evaluate the rhizospheric microbiological activity in tree ...

Woody species distribution across a savanna-dry forest soil gradient in the Brazilian Cerrado

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract Although richness and distribution of woody species in the Cerrado physiognomies have been extensively studied, the shifts of woody species from savanna physiognomies to dry forests have not yet been addressed. Here, we investigate the effect of soil physical-chemical traits on the woody species...

Spectral analysis, in vitro cytotoxicity and antibacterial studies of bioactive principles from the leaves of Conocarpus lancifolius, a common tree of Jazan, Saudi Arabia

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract The objective of the present study was to analyse the bioactive compounds of the leaves of Conocarpus lancifolius (C. lancifolius). The GC-MS analysis of the hot methanolic extract of the leaves (HMEL) of C. lancifolius exhibited the bioactive compounds such as 1-(3-Methoxy-2-nitrobenzyl) iso qu...
