The objetive of this work was to evaluate some microclimatic features in areas with Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus torelliana, resulting from different kinds of forestal cover that these species provide. From the three studied species, E. camaldulensis was the one that allowed the passage of the highest quantities of global solar radiation and light intensity. E. torelliana was the specie that more intercepted the solar radiation and let the understorey with less luminosity. The highest daily temperatures and in the first 10 cm of soil were observed for E. camaldulensis. For the three species, at 20 cm of depth, the temperature variation was pratically constant. From the results it was possible to confirm that trees of E. camaldulensis, E. grandis, and E. torelliana, studied previously in Australia, belong to the formation of short open forest, tall open forest and closed forest respectively.
