Resumo: | The objective of this study is to make, comparatively, of different distance independent competition indices (IID) in three dimensions of plots, and to identify those that more correlate with diametric increment (IPA DAP), in order to determine which best explains inter-tree competition in the arboreal stratum in a dense ombrophylous forest. This study was conducted with the Project Good Management data (Embrapa / CIFOR / ITTO) - Sustainable management of production forests on a commercial scale in the Brazilian Amazon, developed by Embrapa Amazônia Oriental in the area of Jari Florestal SA, in the municipality of Vitória do Jari, State of Amapá. Three permanent plots were used of one hectare each (100 x 100 m), on which were measured all trees with DBH ≥ 20 cm. The following IIDs were compared: G (basal area / ha), BAL (Basal Area of Larger Trees), Glover and Hool and Stage. The competition indices were evaluated by analysis of linear correlation coefficients between each index and the PAI DBH (cm-1) variable. The significance of the correlation coefficients was evaluated by p value (α = 0.05). All variations of indexes tested resulted in correlations of up to 20%, considered to be very weak. This indicates that IIDs can represent only partially the competition in tropical natural forests. However, among the indexes, the BAL index is the IID that presented the highest correlation with the PAI DBH (r = -0.212 and p = 0.000) in plots of 50 mx 50 m and, therefore, even if it has a low correlation, it is the indicated for competition studies on diametric growth in natural tropical forests. A spatial relationship of the IIDs was detected, where the correlation decreases with the increase of the plot size. Additional research is recommended to evaluate the effects of competition on tree growth, as well to increase understanding of intraspecific and interspecific competition in order to improve knowledge of the competition dynamics in tropical forests. |

Este estudo foi conduzido com dados do Projeto Bom Manejo (Embrapa/CIFOR/ITTO) – Manejo sustentável de florestas de produção em escala comercial na Amazônia brasileira, desenvolvido pela Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, em área da Jari Florestal S.A., município de Vitória do Jari, Estado do Amapá. Foram empregadas três parcelas permanentes de um hectare cada uma (100 m x 100 m), nas quais foram medidos todos os indivíduos arbóreos com DAP ≥ 20 cm. Foram comparados os seguintes IID: G (área basal/ha), BAL (Basal Area of Larger Trees), Glover e Hool e Stage. Os índices de competição foram avaliados a partir de análise dos coeficientes de correlação lineares entre cada índice e a variável IPA DAP (cm ano-1). A significância dos coeficientes de correlação foi avaliada pelo p valor (α = 0,05). Todas as variações de índices testadas resultaram em correlações de até 20%, consideradas muito fracas. Isto indica que os IID conseguem representar apenas parcialmente a competição em florestas naturais tropicais. No entanto, entre os índices, o índice BAL é o IID que apresentou a maior correlação com o IPA DAP (r=-0,212 e p = 0,000) em parcelas de 50 m x 50 m e, portanto, mesmo apresentando uma correlação baixa, é o mais indicado para estudos de competição no crescimento diamétrico em florestas tropicais naturais. Foi detectada uma relação espacial dos IID, em que a correlação diminui com o aumento do tamanho da parcela. Recomendam-se pesquisas adicionais para avaliar os efeitos da competição sobre o crescimento das árvores, bem como o aumento do entendimento de competição intraespecífica e interespecífica, a fim de melhorar a compreensão da dinâmica da competição em florestas tropicais.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2018-10-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/article/view/3335810.5902/1980509833358Ciência Florestal; Vol. 28 No. 3 (2018); 1118-1127Ciência Florestal; v. 28 n. 3 (2018); 1118-11271980-50980103-9954reponame:Ciência Florestal (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/article/view/33358/pdfCopyright (c) 2018 Ciência Florestalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVatraz, SilvaneSilva, José Natalino MacedoAlder, Denis2018-10-08T14:24:00Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33358Revistahttp://www.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/ONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||cienciaflorestal@ufsm.br|| cienciaflorestal@gmail.com|| cf@smail.ufsm.br1980-50980103-9954opendoar:2018-10-08T14:24Ciência Florestal (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false |
