MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF TRACHEID MORPHOLOGY IN KNOTS OF Pinus elliottii var. elliottii Deise Amaral de Deus, André Scarambone Zaú, Graciela Ines Bolzon de Muniz, Silvana Nisgoski, Heber dos Santos Abreu, et al. Floresta, 2025 During the formation of wood, cells go through developmental stages in which anatomical elements differentiate between knotted and knot-free regions. The objective of this study was to compare, dimensionally, tracheids of “knot” and “knot-free wood” regions in Pinus elliottii var. elliottii. Five trees were used, and three discs were extracted from each tree: at the base (point of insertion of the first branch), at the top (trunk with 12 cm diameter) and in the middle (between base and top) to make specimens from the “knot” and “knot-free wood” regions. Permanent slides of the material were made, and photomicrographs were taken. Dissociation and maceration of material fragments were performed, comparing the parameters total length, total diameter, lumen diameter and wall thickness, besides counting and measuring cellular elements. Parametric data were subjected to ANOVA (p ≤ 0.05) and to Bartlett’s test, and non-parametric data were subjected to Dunn’s test. Non-Metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS) with simple Euclidean distance was employed through Analysis of Similarity (ANOSIM) and Non-Parametric MANOVA Analysis. GraphPadPrism and PAST v. 2.17c statistical packages were used. The results indicate that the pattern of growth and increment of the longer and thicker structural tracheids from the base to the top of the trunk is not repeated in the knots. Tracheids of knots show a smaller increment in size and do not seem to have growth similar to that observed in knot-free wood.
TRAIL IMPACTS IN A TROPICAL RAINFOREST NATIONAL PARK Erika S. De Almeida, Richieri A. Sartori, André S. Zaú Geography Environment Sustainability, 2022 Generally considered a sustainable economic activity, tourism can generate environmental deterioration due to a lack of planning. In this case, the edge effect is utilized to assess the degree of human interference in the environment. Although the Atlantic Forest is known as a hotspot because of its high species richness and endemism, it is also a threatened biome. In this context of anthropogenic pressure, our work assesses the edge-interior gradient in the regenerating forest based on the physical characteristics of vegetation and floristic composition, in addition to providing overall guidelines to effectively assist in its management. For this study, 30 plots of 25 m² (10 m x 2.5 m) equally distributed among the edges of trails and locations 20 and 40 m away from them were established, with the greatest length measured parallel to the edge of the tracks. Overall, 443 individuals of 122 species were investigated. More than 60 of them were endemic to Brazil, 13.3% were threatened and 9.1% were widely distributed species. Some species were present at all distances from the trails, others co-occurred, but the majority were exclusive to a single plot category. Differences in species diversity were also observed with an increasing trend in dominance at the edges of trails along with a decreased richness at the same distance.
