Inventário quali-quantitativo de um trecho da arborização urbana da Avenida Marechal Floriano Peixoto. Campina Grande, Paraíba.

Abstract

Afforestation and good planning brings numerous benefits to the urban population, such as improving the quality of life and biodiversity in the urban environment, in addition to bringing aesthetics and reducing anthropogenic effects. Based on this premise, the present study aimed to carry out a qualitative and quantitative arboreal inventory, with the purpose of diagnosing and providing subsidies for good city planning, using as part of the research area part of the central construction site of Avenida Marechal Floriano Peixoto in the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba. The data were collected through a standardized spreadsheet, which contained information on botanical identification, morphometric indexes, biological and phytosanitary survey, surrounding conditions and actions performed on the trees studied. In total 98 individuals were inventoried, subdivided into 22 species, belonging to 9 botanical families, where the predominant species was Clitoria fairchildiana and the most abundant botanical family was Fabaceae. Most individuals are large, with an average chest height of 30.0 cm in diameter, the phytosanitary and surrounding conditions were considered satisfactory and the pruning actions performed were inadequate. This survey enabled the collection of information necessary to assess the conditions found in the trees of an avenue in the urban area and with these can enable the most appropriate planning for afforestation.
