| Most studies of chromium have been realized in the sediments and in mangrove trees. However, little is known about its effect on growth and metabolism in this vegetation. L. racemosa plants were grown in solution with 20% of ionic strength of Hoagland and Arnon containing 100 mM NaCl and supplemented with 0.00, 0.05 and 0.50 mg L-1 of Cr+3. The growth, the pigments and gas exchange measurements showed no changes in response to doses of chromium. After 30 days the initiation of treatments, plants of L. racemosa had average 0.559 g of total dry weight, 1.34 mg L-1 of total chlorophyll and 7.9 µmol m-2 s-1 of A (CO2 photosynthetic assimilation). The photochemical potential efficiency was affected by the intermediate dose of 0.05 mg L-1 of Cr+3 (Fv/Fm=0.73)... |

| The ecophysiological behavior of brazilwood (Caesalpinia echinata Lam.) plants was evaluated as affected by light quantity and quality. Nine-month-old plants were cultivated under 0%, 50%, and 80% artificial shading, and natural shading imposed by a closed canopy for a period of 392 days. At the end of that period growth parameters were measured, including relative growth rate (RGR), net assimilation rate (NAR), leaf area ratio (LAR), specific leaf mass (SLM) and root:shoot ratio (R:S). Higher leaf area, dry mass and RGR were obtained under 50% artificial shade. Under full sunlight (0% shade), growth was satisfactory showing higher R:S and SLM. Growth was inhibited under 80% artificial and natural shading indicating that C. echinata is not... |
