Diagnóstico quali-quantitativo da arborização urbana de ruas dos bairros Colônia e Pedreiras no município de Itacoatiara, Amazonas

Abstract

The accelerated and disorderly growth of cities has been a huge impact on the environment such as the vertical and mainly horizontal expansions replaced by natural ecosystems by buildings, paving, landfills and others. These changes cause water, sound and visual problems in this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the urban afforestation in six streets of two districts of the city of Itacoatiara, in the State of Amazonas. For this, all the public roadway trees of six streets belonging to two neighborhoods were randomly selected. The data were collected in a standardized form, which contained information about date of collection, street, neighborhood, common name of the species, development phase, phytosanitary, root problems, need for pruning, land clearance, total height, diameter at height of the chest (DAP). A total of 267 trees were sampled, of which 49% were in the Cologne neighborhood. Licania tomentosa was the predominant species, represented by 51% of the trees sampled. The Pedreiras neighborhood obtained the highest number of undesirable results for afforestation among the evaluated parameters.
