Wood density and carbon content in young teak individuals from Pará, Brazil

摘要: In order to estimate carbon stock in natural or planted forests, it is necessary determine wood density and content. Thus, the aim of this study basic average content young Tectona grandis trees grown commercial plantations southeast Para. Study subjects were between four five years old. Samples, form discs taken at 1.3 m height from soil, separated into bark, heartwood, sapwood, considering two types genetic material: clones seeds. Basic varied, on average, 0.46 g cm -3 sapwood 0.49 no significant difference was observed materials. Average varied 36% bark 44% wood, differences found averages There corre­lation (r=0.3147). It concluded that heartwood formation has early occurrence teak, but there are heart­wood. However, ages analyzed.
