YIELD BARK DETERMINATION FOR BLACK WATTLE, Acacia mearnsii De Wild.

ABSTRACT

The present research was undertaken with black wattle, Acacia mearnsii De Wild. The objective was to determine the green bark yield, estimated through an equation obtained by a production model, related age, dominant height and basal area, expressed by the generic model: log C = b0 + b1 h0 2 +b2 log G, where C = green bark weight per hectare; G = basal area per hectare; h0 = dominant height. This equation showed a high precision. The independent variables, dominant height and basal area explained 97,8% of the green bark yield variation per hectare.
