| This study evaluated the morphological variation (total and commercial height, and diameter at 1.3 m above ground level - DBH) and environmental variables (slope, distance to water bodies, solar orientation, termites, tree damage and elevation) which influence production of oleoresin by Copaifera paupera (Herzog) Dwyer in southwestern Amazon. The present study was conducted at the experimental forest of Embrapa Acre, Rio Branco, Acre State, Brazil. Forty-seven trees with DBH ≥ 40 cm were mapped, of which 21.3% produced oleoresin immediately after being drilled and 53.2% produced oleoresin after 5 to 7 days, totaling 74.5% productive trees. The site slope was the only variable that significantly influenced oleoresin production; the greater the slope, the... |
