Análise qualitativa de espécies plantadas no bairro da Encruzilhada, Recife-PE

Abstract

The disorderly growth in urban centers has compromised the quality of life of the population, and the dispute between the environment and the anthropic constructions brought structural problems to the urban environment. The search for the minimization of the impacts caused by this lack of planning is based on the idea of a sustainable environment, which refers to economic growth taking into account the environmental variables, therefore, the urban forestation represents a mean to achieve this objective, and also exercises a primary role in providing physical and psychological benefits to the population. The present study aimed to carry out the qualitative inventory of a planting carried out in 2016 in the neighborhood of Encruzilhada, in the city of Recife-PE. The following qualitative parameters were evaluated: tree name, CAP, phytosanitary status, tree size, height of first bifurcation, canopy status with regard to phytosanitary status and torso status in relation to tortuosity and bifurcation, height total, need for maintenance. The results obtained showed that after three years of planting, only 29% of the individuals planted in the year 2016 were lost, in relation to the species found the following results were obtained: 29,58% Pata de Vaca (Bauhinia monandra Kurz), 26,76% of Resedá (Lagerstroemia indica L), 22,54% of Ipê Branco (roseoalba (Ridl.) Sandwith) and 21,13% of Sabonete (Sapindus saponaria L). Regarding the plant health, 62,94% were in good conditions, 24,48% under regular conditions, 11.89% under bad conditions and 0,70% were dead. In the maintenance needs, 55,30% of the trees need pruning, 25,76% did not require any type of maintenance and 18,94% needed other types of maintenance.
