| Planting woodlots for ecosystem restoration must be based on silvics and ecological features of the species. This paper deals with silvicultural performance of native Brazilian species Rapanea ferruginea (Ruiz & Pav.) Mez and Citharexylum myrianthum Cham. planted in abandoned pastures in Antonina, coast of Paraná state. Monospecific plots were 69 months old and situated on hill slope and alluvial plain, sharply contrasting on water availability. Rapanea ferruginea showed higher survival and growth in the slope. Concerning to Citharexylum myrianthum, survival values were high and similar in both reliefs, although growth was higher in the plain. |
