Seedling growth of fifteen Brazilian tropical tree species differing in successional status

O crescimento de plântulas de quinze especies arboreas tropicais pertencentes a diferentes estadios sucessionais foi estudado sob condicoes de campo. As plântulas foram cultivadas sob tratamentos de radiacao plena, sombreamento artificial proporcionado por telas sombrite e sombreamento natural imposto por dossel vegetal na Reserva Municipal de Santa Genebra em Campinas, SP, Brasil. A maioria das especies estudadas sobreviveu aos tratamentos de sombreamento, com marcantes alteracoes no crescimento. Reducoes de altura, numero de entrenos, massa seca, area foliar e razao raiz/parte aerea (R/PA) foram respostas frequentes ao sombreamento, assim como tambem aumentos da razao de massa foliar (RMF), razao de area foliar (RAF) e area foliar especifica (AFE). As taxas de crescimento relativo (TCRs) e as taxas de assimilacao liquida (TALs) apresentaram-se consistentemente mais baixas nos tratamentos de sombreamento. TCR se mostrou significativamente correlacionada com TAL nos tratamentos de radiacao plena e sombreamento natural e com RAF no tratamento de sombreamento artificial. O sombreamento natural teve efeitos mais severos na reducao da area foliar e da TCR. As diferencas inter-especificas nos parâmetros R/PA, RMF, AFE e RAF nao se mostraram correlacionadas com o estadio sucessional. Foi observada uma tendencia das especies de estadios iniciais de sucessao apresentarem maiores TCRs do que as especies tardias, independentemente do ambiente de luz. As especies tardias apresentaram, em relacao as iniciais, respostas menos pronunciadas ao sombreamento. As caracteristicas apresentadas pelas especies tardias podem estar associadas com tolerância a sombra, permitindo sua manutencao sob dosseis fechados por maiores periodos de tempo.
