Abstract

The study aims to evaluate the variability of canopy development of the eighteen most relevant eucalyptus clones in the Brazilian forestry sector, and the influence of these differences in the soil cover, biomass and root production by plants. The test consists of 18 plots with 20 trees each, and 54 destructive plots with 4 trees each. (AU)
