Efeito do controlo do sob coberto e da fertilização no crescimento de Pinheiro Bravo

Abstract

Para determinar o interesse do controle da vegetação do sob coberto juntamente com a aplicação de N, P e K no crescimento e concentração de nutrientes em pinheiro bravo (Pinus pinaster Ait.) escolheu-se um pinhal instalado, em 1996, em Seia, onde, em 2002, foram aplicados cinco tratamentos: testemunha (T); corte e remoção da vegetação do sob coberto (CR); corte, remoção da vegetação do sob coberto e aplicação de N, P e K (CRF); corte e destroçamento da vegetação do sob coberto (CD); corte, destroçamento da vegetação do sob coberto e aplicação de N, P e K (CDF). Os tratamentos foram aplicados em blocos casualisados com três repetições. A área média das parcelas é de 782 m2 e o nº médio de árvores por parcela é de 115. A determinação da altura, do diâmetro a 20 cm e do diâmetro à altura do peito foi efectuada em Julho de 2002, altura da instalação dos tratamentos, em Março de 2003, em Janeiro de 2004 e em Fevereiro de 2006 e de 2007. Posteriomente calculou-se a área basal e o volume. Entre 2002 e 2007, e em relação a todos os parâmetros dendrométricos considerados, verificou-se que os acréscimos ocorridos no tratamento CDF foram superiores (p <0,05) aos dos outros tratamentos. Os menores crescimentos verificaram-se na Testemunha e/ou no tratamento CR. Em geral, não houve diferenças significativas entre os tratamentos CD e CRF. Os resultados indicam, assim, que a remoção da vegetação do sob coberto, para por exemplo ser utilizada em centrais de biomassa, deverá ser considerada apenas se forem adicionados fertilizantes (tratamento CRF) a fim de se evitarem efeitos negativos no crescimento. A concentração de N, P e K nas agulhas em 2002 e 2003 aumentou com a aplicação dos adubos, embora de forma não significativa. Em 2006, só a concentração de P continuava a ser ligeiramente superior à dos outros tratamentos. A diversidade de vegetação do sob coberto, assim como a quantidade de nutrientes nessa vegetação, aumentou após a aplicação dos tratamentos. O tratamento CD foi o que mais contribuiu para a redução da vegetação do sob coberto, decréscimo de 74% de 2002 para 2003, seguido dos tratamentos CDF, CRF e CR. Na testemunha a vegetação do sob coberto aumentou 38%.

In order to study the interest of controlling the understory vegetation and the addition of N, P and K on the growth and nutrient concentration in Pinus pinaster Ait., a field trial was established in a 6-year old pine forest. Five treatments were tested: control (T); cutting and removal of competing vegetation (CR); cutting and removal of competing vegetation plus addition of N, P and K (CRF); cutting and chipping of competing vegetation (CD); cutting and chipping of competing vegetation and application of N, P and K (CDF). The treatments were arranged in complete randomized blocks, with three repetitions. The medium size of the plots was 782 m2 and the average number of trees per plot was 115. The height and the diameter (at 20 and 1,30cm) were determined in July 2002, when treatments were applied, in March 2003, January 2004 and February 2006 and 2007. Afterwards the basal area and the volume were calculated. Between 2002 and 2007, growth in the CDF treatment was higher (p <0,05) than in the other treatments. The lowest growth occurred in control and/or in the CR treatment. In general, there were no differences between CD and CRF treatments. Therefore, these results point out that removal of competing vegetation, for instance to be used in biomass centrals, should be considered only if fertilizers are added (CRF treatment) in order to avoid negative effects on pine growth. Applying fertilizers increased N, P and K concentrations only in 2002 and 2003, although the increase was not significant. The diversity of competing vegetation, as well as the amount of nutrients in this vegetation, was higher after treatments. CD treatment was the most effective in reducing the understory vegetation, 74% from 2002 to 2003, followed by the CDF, CRF and CR treatments. In control, the competing vegetation increased by 38%.
