ABSTRACT Forest cover in areas degraded by mining is an alternative way of mitigating CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere by fixing C in tree biomass. This study evaluated the growth and C stocks of forest cover in an area of bauxite mining with four sources of fertilizer. Height (Ht), diameter at ground level (DGL), and diameter at breast height (DBH) were determined in Anadenanthera peregrina (Ap), clonal Eucalyptus (Euc), and a mixed plantation of 16 native forest species (Nat) at 6, 18, 36, and 56 months of age. Trunk+bark volume, biomass, and C stock were also determined for these forest covers at 56 months of age. The fertilization treatments were a standard (SF) adopted by the company, SF plus organic fertilizer (OF), chemical fertilizer (CF), and OF+CF. Euc displayed greater values of Ht, DGL, and DBH under OF+CF and OF. Fertilization did not influence the Ht and DBH of Ap, but DGL was higher under OF+CF at 36 months compared to SF. The Ht values of Nat were influenced by fertilization at 18 months, with the lowest values under SF. The fertilization influenced the DGL of Nat at 36 and 56 months, which did not occur with DBH. The pioneer species had higher Ht, DGL, and DGB compared to non-pioneer species, regardless of the type of fertilization studied. Fertilization influenced the Ht and DGL of pioneer species at 18 and 36 months of age and only the Ht of non-pioneer species. The estimates of Euc biomass (255 Mg ha-1) and C stocks (120 Mg ha-1) under OF+OC were four times greater than in Ap and Nat, which showed no difference between themselves or the types of fertilization. The growth and estimates of volume, biomass, and C stocks of the forest cover were comparable to those of unmined areas. Euc had the greatest growth, biomass, and C stocks.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência do enraizamento adventício em estacas extraídas de brotações obtidas por meio da decepa da árvore, anelamento do caule e indução de brotações epicórmicas em galhos podados de árvores de Eucalyptus cloeziana, bem como a influência do AIB no enraizamento adventício dessas estacas. Foram utilizadas brotações de cepas de 3 e 5 árvores de 5 e 15 anos de idade, respectivamente, para o resgate por brotações de cepas. Para o anelamento do caule, foram utilizadas árvores de 5, 15 e 20 anos de idade, enquanto para o resgate por galhos podados as árvores utilizadas eram de 20 anos de idade. A indução de brotações em cepas mostrou melhores resultados para as árvores selecionadas com 5 anos de idade, em relação àquelas de 15 anos. No caso das estacas advindas das árvores de 5 anos de idade, a não-utilização de AIB proporcionou, para a maioria das características avaliadas, melhores respostas, ao passo que para as de 15 anos de idade a utilização de AIB apresentou melhor enraizamento. Quanto à formação de brotos induzidos em galhos podados e anelamento de caule, essas técnicas se mostraram eficientes na indução de brotações, porém as estacas obtidas não apresentaram resposta ao enraizamento adventício. De forma geral, o resgate por brotações de cepas mostrou-se mais viável em relação às demais técnicas estudadas, tanto pelo maior número de brotações emitidas quanto pela sua capacidade de enraizamento.The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of adventitious rooting in cuttings of shoots obtained from tree severance, stem ringing and induction of epicormic shoots on pruned branches of Eucalyptus cloeziana trees, as well as the influence of IBA on the adventitious rooting of the same cuttings. Stump shoots were used from three and five trees, of 5 and 15 years old respectively. Trees of 5, 15 and 20 years old were used for the stem ringing, and 20-year-old trees were used for the delivery by means of pruned branches. Induction of stump shoots showed better results for the selected 5-year-old trees than for the 15-year-old ones. Cuttings originating from 5-year-old trees gave better results without IBA, while those originating from the 15-year-old trees presented better rooting when IBA was used. Shoot formation induced on pruned branches and through stem ringing were considered efficient techniques for shoot induction. The obtained cuttings, however, did not produce adventitious rooting. In general, delivery by stump shoots was shown to be a more viable technique when compared to the other techniques studied, both by the higher number of shoots emitted and their superior rooting capacity.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência das auxinas AIB (ácido indolbutírico) e ANA (ácido naftalenoacético) no enraizamento adventício de miniestacas de clones de Eucalyptus cloeziana. Foram utilizadas miniestacas provenientes de sete clones de Eucalyptus cloeziana, estabelecidos em minijardim clonal, sendo avaliados os efeitos de AIB (0, 1.500, 3.000 e 6.000 mg L-1) na forma líquida e em pó e ANA (0, 3.000 e 6.000 mg L-1) na forma líquida. Os resultados apontaram ser a miniestaquia técnica viável na propagação vegetativa dos clones de Eucalyptus cloeziana estudados, apresentando, de modo geral, alto índice de enraizamento das miniestacas. Os clones com maior potencial de enraizamento adventício responderam mais positivamente às menores dosagens de AIB, enquanto nos clones com capacidade de enraizamento reduzida houve tendência de as maiores dosagens de AIB serem mais eficientes no enraizamento, independentemente da forma de aplicação do fitorregulador (líquido ou pó). O ANA, de modo geral, não influenciou significativamente o enraizamento das miniestacas da maioria dos clones estudados.The present work aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the auxins IBA (indolbutyric acid) and NAA (naphtaleneacetic acid) on the adventitious rooting of Eucalyptus cloeziana clones. Minicuttings originated from seven Eucalyptus cloeziana clones established in mini-clonal hedge, were evaluated for the effects of IBA (0, 1500, 3000 and 6000 mg L-1) in the liquid and powder forms and NAA (0, 3000 and 6000 mg L-1) in the liquid form. The results showed that minicutting is a viable technique for vegetative propagation of the studied Eucalyptus cloeziana clones, with overall high rooting rates. Clones with higher adventitious rooting potential gave better response to lower IBA doses, while clones with reduced rooting potential were more efficient with higher doses, independently of the form of the applied phytoregulator (powder or liquid). NAA, in general, had no significant effect on minicutting rooting for most studied clones.
