e0“While none of these treatments resulted in changes in phenological behavior or the rate of increase of diameter at breast height and tree height, the removal of wider bark strips resulted in lower rates of bark recovery and higher rates of insect attack and diseases.”

ALEXANDRE MARIOT; ADELAR MANTOVANI; MAURÍCIO S. DOS REIS Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências 2014. doi:10.1590/0001-3765201420130180
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Bark harvesting methods did not change phenological behavior.
- Observation Bark harvesting methods did not change diameter or tree height growth rates.
- Observation Wider bark strips reduced bark recovery rate.
- Recommendation The authors recommend harvesting bark in strips 2 cm wide and 2 m long with 4 cm spacing.
- Recommendation The authors conclude D. brasiliensis has high potential for sustainable management of natural populations.
