Abstract

Volume growth of pau-ferro trees (Astronium balansae) of a native forest and a twelve-years old plantation was studied using stem analysis technique. Analysis of cross-sectional discs allowed only to quantify the growth of the plantation trees because it was not possible to identify the tree rings in the native forest  cross-sections. Growth data was modeled with a stepwise regression procedure which resulted in  equations of high precision and good fit to describe the mean and current annual increment of a tree from the dominant and another from the dominated stratum. It was not possible to detect the point of maximum increment because of the little age of the trees.
