Wood biomass of one gallery forest

Analisou-se um hectare da mata ciliar do córrego dos Macacos situada no Município de Santo Antônio do Descoberto, GO. Determinou-se o volume com casca e o peso da madeira seca do fuste e dos galhos de 1.741 árvores com DAP igual ou superior a 5 cm. Foram identificadas 117 espécies. O volume total de madeira em metros cúbicos foi de 181,996/ha, e o correspondente peso seco dessa madeira, de 132 toneladas. Os resultados apresentam bases para os correspondentes planos de manejo sustentado.On a study in a gallery forest at the small stream Dos Macacos situated at Santo Antônio do Descoberto, GO, Brazil, an area of one hectare was analysed. On 1.741 trees the wood volume with bark and the dry wood biomass of stems and branches was determined for trees with a DBH greater than 5 cm. 117 species were identified. The total volume was 181,996 m3/ha corresponding to 132 tons of dry wood. The results could form a base for management plans, utilizing these resources on a sustainable yield basis
