Resumo

Foi conduzido um estudo sobre a dinâmica de crescimento em floresta localizada no Estado do Acre na Amazônia sul ocidental, onde uma área de 20 ha foi explorada para extração de madeira em 1992. O estudo foi baseado em parcelas permanentes (1 ha) estabelecidas dentro da área explorada e na floresta não manejada, imediatamente após o fim das operações florestais. Os parâmetros da dinâmica florestal foram analisados em termos da biomassa seca acima do solo (BAS). Durante o período do estudo três eventos climáticos extremos causaram um elevado impacto tanto nas áreas exploradas como nas não perturbadas por exploração, produzindo perdas de biomassa superiores às estimadas para a exploração. Vinte anos após a exploração, as taxas de ingresso e mortalidade foram semelhantes às esperadas em uma área de floresta não perturbada por exploração e a recuperação da BAS foi significativamente mais alta nas áreas cortadas. Quando praticado de forma adequada, o manejo de floresta pode promover uma recuperação da BAS mais rápida. Nós sugerimos que o manejo florestal pode ser considerado como uma alternativa para adaptação a eventos extremos de clima por meio da promoção de perturbações controladas que minimizem a mortalidade de árvores e a perda de biomassa.
