Zusammenfassung: | This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of thinning on the
fiber length of the Eucalyptus grandis at 18 years of age. To do so,
it was analyzed a thinning experiment, located in the northern coast of
Rio Grande do Sul state, installed in randomized blocks with four
repetitions. The treatments were defined in accordance with the number
of thinning applied and ranged from zero to six interventions. The
trees were selected, in each treatment, on the basis of the Assmann's
dominant diameter and the central diameter of tree, being referred to
as dominant and central trees, respectively. After cutting down, in the
disk corresponding to the region of the DBH (diameter at breast height)
were marked and sectioned central baguettes where one crafted fragments
selected at regular intervals in pith-to-bark direction for maceration.
The results indicated that thinning influenced the dominants and
centrals trees fiber length; however there was no clear positive or
negative systematic trend this structure in function of the vital space
used. Independently of dominant or average stratum, the fiber length
showed a pattern of increasing from pith to bark in all thinning
intensities analyzed and the lowest values were observed near the pith.
Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito do desbaste no
comprimento das fibras da madeira de Eucalyptus grandis aos 18 anos
de idade. Para tanto, foi analisado um experimento situado próximo
ao litoral do Rio Grande do Sul, instalado em delineamento de blocos ao
acaso com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram definidos
devido ao número de desbastes aplicados e variaram de zero
até seis intervenções. As árvores foram
selecionadas, em cada tratamento, com base no diâmetro dominante
de Assmann e no diâmetro da árvore central, sendo denominadas
de árvores dominantes e centrais, respectivamente. Após o
abate, no disco correspondente à região do DAP (diâmetro
a altura do peito) foram marcadas e seccionadas baguetas centrais de
onde se confeccionaram fragmentos selecionados em intervalos regulares,
no sentido medula-casca, para maceração. Os resultados
indicaram que o desbaste influenciou o comprimento das fibras das
árvores dominantes e centrais, porém, não foi verificada
uma tendência sistemática de acréscimo ou
decréscimo dessa estrutura em função do espaço
vital utilizado. Independentemente do estrato dominante ou médio,
o comprimento das fibras apresentou um padrão de
variação crescente no sentido medula-casca em todas as |
