Transpiration behavior of Campina and Campinarana areas in Central Amazon.
Sap Flow. Water Use. Biodiversity. Forest Ecosystems.
Campinas and Campinaranas are ecosystems in the Central Amazon that are of great importance for the conservation of Amazonian biodiversity. In the literature, there are few studies related to the use of unique water in the vegetation of Campina and Campinarana, and they are often associated with a type of vegetation. article sense, the by inspiration of trees in the two types of water water, using measurements of dryness to understand the efficiency and objective the patterns of use and analysis of the difference in the hydraulic capacity of the two ecosystems. Sap flow measurements were performed using the thermal dissipation method, collected daily between March 2000 and March 2008. . Note also that there was a difference in the beginning of the transpiration period in Campina vegetation, which occurred at 8 am, whereas in Campinarana it occurred at 9 am. The monthly average of sap flow in Campina was equal to 38.42 mm.month-1 and for Campinarana 28.41 mm.month-1, in Campina the sap flow values in the dry period were similar, in Campinarana, during the dry period. dry, greater transpiration can be seen. The average annual sap flow in the Campina forest was equal to 5741.49 mm.year-1hectare-1, and in Campinarana it was 8196.08 mm.year1hectare-1. The determination of transmission through important sap flow measurements brought information about the water of important plants.
