Potencial de espécies oleaginosas arbóreas e palmeiras em uma área da Amazônia Central

Abstract

This research was conducted with the database project Impactos na Geração de Eletricidade devidos a Implantação de Sistemas de Produção de Biodiesel no Estado do Amazonas .In this perspective, the present study aimed to characterize the horizontal structure of the palm trees and woody species, emphasizing the occurrence of oil through a forest inventory o in the search for alternatives to use of forest in favor of strengthening sustainable forest management in the Amazon region. We used the cluster sampling system in a tropical rainforest located in the territorial area of Tefé, Amazonas, Brazil. We measured the trees with DBH ≥ 30 cm and quantified the palm. Tree species were classified as commercial timber species, species of ecological interest and oilseeds. The structural characterization was carried out by the Forest Indexes of absolute and relative frequency, absolute and relative density, and specific tree species, diameter classes were assessed them distributed amplitudes of 10 cm. The oilseeds species totaled 66 individuals, distributed among 14 species of trees, occupying a small fraction of the diameter classes, it s still had low occurrence and low density compared to individuals of species of commercial value and ecological interest. The structural composition of palm trees showed good in terms of individuals represented in the seedling and adult stage, demonstrating also a direct relationship with the areas of shallows and the influence of streams. oilseeds, as well as have a few copies, more than 50% of the species in this group had a single individual
