Anatomical Description of Guanandi Wood, from Pure Plantation, and its Use as Building Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work aims to contribute with information about the structural wood anatomical description Calophyllum brasiliense Camb.. The study was conducted in an area of 1350 m2, with spacing 4.0 m x 2.5 m, in the Paraná State, Brazil. Five specimens of C. brasiliense, with 13 years of age, were collected. For the macro and microscopic anatomical analyses were obtained disks to 0%, 25% and 50% of the commercial height of the trunk. The anatomical structure of wood of C. brasiliense, from pure plantation, was similar to existing literature for native forests. The results showed that the cultivation of trees of Guanandi, from pure plantation, can be a sustainable alternative in obtaining building material.
