Secondary growth forests are forest formations established after the degradation of mature forest communities. In the Legal Amazon, about 23% of land use and land cover classes in deforested areas are secondary vegetation at different stages of regeneration. Although they occupy extensive areas of the Amazon rainforest and are considered potential phytophysiognomies for the conservation a…
This proposal seeks funding for reconstructing climate variability and change during the past millennium (850 C.E -1850 C.E) using speleothem and tree-ring records from the South American monsoon region. The last millennium is a key period for climate reconstruction, because it allows analyzing natural climate variability in the absence of human influence. It is also a time period that in…
The project aims to study the impact of K substitution by Na on the Eucalyptus response to water stress throughout the plant growth, up to 6 years. Field experiments are already underway at the Itatinga Experimental Station of ESALQ/USP as part of a joint projects between ESALQ and CIRAD (Projeto Tematico FAPESP 2010/16623-9, Projeto Regular 02/11827-9, 05/60312-0), where an innovative tr…
This research project, submitted to the Visiting Professor Program-Call of São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), contains 2 inters- related activities, training and research, detailed in the subject of the project. These activities will be developed by prof. FIDEL ALEJANDRO ROIG, researcher of the Instituto Argentino de Nivología, Glaciología y Ciencias Ambientales (IANIGLA) and profess…
The objective of this request is the establishment of a multi-user laboratory specializing in the use of nearinfrared (NIR) spectroscopy and X-ray densitometry methods in agroforestry applications, operating under the a USPices of the ESALQ Department of Forest Sciences. We consider strategic to establish a laboratory in this line of research in the State of São Paulo, based on a network …

Dendrochronology has been applied in the dating of trees of species occurring in neotropical forests, enabling the construction of growth rings chronology, reconstruction of growth in trunk diameter, and annual increments in volume, biomass and carbon of trunk wood. In the present work, these multi-proxies analyzes of growth rings will be applied to Cedrela fissilis (Meliaceae) trees that…
The presence of annual rings in tropical trees may allow the application of dendrochronological methods to determining age, growth rates and climate-growth relationships. In semi-arid tropical trees, annual rings are visible when the cambial dormancy is induced by annually climatic events, such as drought. However, seasonally and monthly variation in water availability may cause the form…
This proposal aims to reconstruct the variability and climate change by anatomical and physical parameters of growth rings of trees occurring in the National Forest of Jamari, Rondônia from the South American summer monsoon region. Rising atmospheric concentrations of CO2 are triggering extreme events relevant to the climate worldwide. In this context, understanding the response of tropic…
Forest management is an important economic activity in Brazil, for its execution and planning tree growth is one of the main characteristics that should be evaluated, this is usually measured through forest inventories that monitor some decades of tree growth. However, they have low temporal sensitivity to identify interannual variations in tree life cycle. Dendrochronology enables the an…

Chemical elements are allocated and translocated during the growth process through cambium activity and ring formation as part of tree metabolism and physiology. This process is also regulated by genetic expression, tree age and environmental conditions. The evaluation of anatomical and chemical parameters of tree-rings are therefore currently considered a crucial source of data in tree f…
