Estudy of the growth of tree semideciduous species in an riparian area revegetated

The objective of this study was to evaluate the species growing, to identify their growth pattern and to discuss the method quality in relation to plant reforestation. The survey was conducted after 32 months of planting seedlings, through sampling of fixed area by using plots, in which five sampling areas, selected to cover the entire length reforested, containing 200 individuals/sample area was used. Height and diameter were measured in all sampled plants, with a height greater than 1 (one) meter. Data were analyzed as a randomized block lineation (RBL), subjected to analysis of variance followed by Scott & Knott test at 5% of significance level, using the program SISVAR. Finally, it was concluded that pioneer species or those that have a short life cycle are considered ideal for deployment in early of reforestation due to fast growth; however they should have their management associated with not pioneer species or perennials species.
