Incrementos em função da idade de <i>Qualea dinizii </i>Ducke na Floresta Amazônica, Noroeste de Mato Grosso, Brasil

Although many studies have explored the growth rate of Amazonian natural forest species in forest stands, there is still a need to investigate the increment and describe the growth rate as a function of age for species at the level of individual trees. The aim of this study was to estimate the average accumulated increment over the years for the species Qualea dinizii Ducke. The database consisted of five trees from a natural forest. The dendrometric variables (Cap, Dap, Ht) were measured for each tree. The study was conducted using the ANATRO methodology. This study confirmed the periodicity of the growth rings for the species. The MAI was measured at a diameter of 47 mm.year-1, DBH of 68.00 cm and an age of 144 years. These are relevant results for estimating the accumulated increment for trees of this species in the Brazilian Amazon, helping as indicators for implementing forest management.
