Análise qualiquantitativa da arborização das praças da cidade de monte alegre do Piauí

Abstract

It is understood by urban arborization, all arboreal vegetation that occupies the public and private spaces of a city. This is of fundamental importance for man due to its benefits and provides better living conditions for the human being. The present work had as objective to carry out a qualitauantitative survey of the afforestation of the public squares of the city of Monte Alegre-PI. The methodology adopted was based on a survey of bibliographic data, which after studies and discussions generated parameters that guided the rest of the research. A survey was made of the existing trees in the three squares, with identification of species and qualitauantitative evaluation. Of the analyzed squares only one has arboreal individuals, of the species cataloged were identified as native and exotic with predominance of exotic species. Most arboreal individuals are in good conservation status and have preserved the characteristic form of the species. The arboreal species were predominantly large, the mean total height of the evaluated trees was 9.85 m, the average height of the first fork was 2.58 m. Although the individuals are large and, generally speaking, good phytosanitary status, the municipality does not yet have adequate vegetation cover. It was concluded that the population knows the importance of afforestation. The arborization of the square presents some irregular aspects related to its planning.
