Unless properly managed, clumping bamboos tend to become congested, resulting in deterioration both in quality and in quantity. It is difficult to extract bamboo from congested clumps. In a clump, new culms are normally produced outwards, towards the periphery of the clump and the older stems are left in the center. Harvesting of bamboo therefore should be from the center and not at the sides of the clumps. This makes it necessary to maintain clumps in the shape of a horse-shoe, keeping the apex towards the side where the new culms are progressing. The open end of the horse-shoe facilitates entry inside the clump for cutting of mature stems. (505) 8933-1674 · [email protected] · www.ecobamboolot.com Why Bamboo ?

  • Building Guadua Bamboo Pedestrian Bridges in Colombia
    BUILDING GUADUA BAMBOO PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES IN COLOMBIA EN COLOMBIA One of the articles published in the bookmarks of the INBAR International Network of Bamboo & Rattan presents the experience of Colombia in building pedestrian bridges with bamboo. The articles highlights how these innovative constructions not only make possible to cross rivers and roads, but also show how competitive this material is in ecological engineering. Colombia associated to the INBAR Network since its constituency in 1999. Colombia has the highest woody bamboo diversity in Latin America after Brazil. The country is also recognized at international level for having increased the knowledge on the native Guadua angustifolia bamboo and for its uses in construction technologies capable of responding to modern demands. Since ancient times Colombian carpenters were used to build bridges with Guadua to cross rivers, especially in the areas where the bamboo grows, in the Departments of Quindío, Risaralda, Caldas, Tolima, Valle del Cauca, Cundinamarca and Santander. The constructions combine the arch of the bridge made with Guadua, with straps of the same material tied to piles or trees of the place. Those structures are still being built and traditional know-how is being even more valued thanks to innovations that permit to apply the Guadua properties to bigger and more resistant buildings. The Colombian architect Simón Vélez contributed with one of the innovative techniques of great relevance and recognized worldwide. In spite of being a constructive material of great resistance, the limitation of the Guadua is that it is hollow and the architect found out how to make structural joints by injecting concrete in bamboo's knots, obtaining incredible results.

It is made available under aCC-BY-ND 4.0 International license. Abstract Bamboo-dominated forests in Southwestern Amazonia encompass an estimated 180,000 km2 of nearly contiguous primary, tropical lowland forest. This area, largely composed of two bamboo species, Guadua weberbaueri Pilger and G. sarcocarpa Londoño & Peterson, comprises a significant portion of the Amazon Basin and has a potentially important effect on regional carbon storage. Numerous local REDD(+) projects would benefit from the development of allometric models for these species, although there has been just one effort to do so. The aim of this research was to create a set of improved allometric equations relating the above and belowground biomass to the full range of natural size and growth patterns observed. Four variables (DBH, stem length, small branch number and branch number ≥ 2cm diameter) were highly significant predictors of stem biomass (N≤ 278, p< 0.0001 for all predictors, complete model R2=0.93).

Introduction Bamboo species have a long history as a multipurpose and widely used renewable resource. Particularly in Asia, bamboos are a source of material for construction, tools and implements for agriculture, pulp for paper, handicrafts, and are also used for soil conservation (BANIK 1999). In addition, bamboo is also popular because its shoots are fit for human consumption (RAZAK 2001). Bamboo is the base for a wide range of industries that provide the livelihoods for the rural poor mostly in the unorganised sector. In India, the industry is estimated to supply income to 0.5 million people, most of whom are employed by small-scale processing enterprises (HANUMAPPA 1996). The world bamboo forest area covers about 20 millions ha (ZHOU et al. 1994), with 90 genera and 1200 species (LONDOÑO 1990). Only in America, there are 440 native species, of which 320 are woody (HIDALGO 2003). Within woody bamboos is the genus Guadua (JUDZIEWICZ et al. 1999). This genus contains the largest bamboos from the Americas, which have significant social, economic and cultural importance. These include 30 species widespread from Mexico to Argentina from sea level up to 1800 m.a.s.l. (LONDOÑO 1990). American woody bamboos have been classified into two groups based on their habit requirements.

  • Introduction
    10th World Bamboo Congress, Korea 2015 Biomass generation and Carbon fixation in Guadua Bamboo: Guadua angustifolia Kunth. Hormilson Cruz Ríos. Bamboo Premier. Carretera Mexico Toluca # 54 – 54 México DF. Mexico. CP:05320 [email protected] Abstract In Mexico bamboo grows in many aspects; forestry, plantations, propagation, evaluation not only in native but also in exotic bamboo species with high economical potential, construction, biomass production, charcoal, clean energy, engineered wood and cellulose. Among the most important research done in Mexico is the biomass production and carbon sequestration in Guadua angustifolia. This research was done during more than 7 years. In terms of biomass production in this research, a number of commercial plantations existing in different localities in Mexico were selected. They were studied by place and ultimately an average was arrived at for five (5) repetitions sown at 6 m x 6m and putting fertilizers using the dynamic of nutrients extraction discovered to Guadua angustifolia. Among the plantations selected in each of the localities, clumps were chosen at one year, two years, and thus successively until seven years of age. The biomass was calculated and wet weight was recorded in every part of the plant and consequently in the clump. The biomass average results obtained shown that by the end of the seventh year a clump reach 2145.3kg. From this it may be concluded that Guadua angustifolia produces 596.39 tons/Ha of green biomass at seven years and under the sowing distance referred before. The average is 85.19 ton/ha/year. In terms of capture of Carbon, Guadua angustifolia as a tropical and giant bamboo is an excellent bamboo to fix it.

Chemical composition and antimicrobial properties of the essential oils of two Guadua Kunth species (Poaceae-Bambusoideae) Paulo R. H. Moreno1,2*, Danielle C. S de Oliveira2, Fabíola T. Santos2, Felipe A. Nunes1, Tomáń Bílek1, Maria Tereza Grombone-Guaratini3 Keywords: Bamboo, essential oil, antimicrobial activity, Guadua angustifolia, G. chacoensis Bamboos are described as one of the most important renewables, easily obtained, and valuable of all forest resources. Brazil is the country with the greatest diversity of bamboo species in the New World [1]. One of the most important bamboo groups growing in South America belongs to the Guadua genus, from which two species, G. angustifolia Kunth. and G. chacoensis (Rojas Acosta) Londoño & P.M. Peterson, are morphologically closely related. Due to the taxonomic difficulties presented by the Guadua complex, the main objective of this work was to evaluate the potential of their volatile oils for distinguishing the closely related species and to evaluate new potential applications for these plants. Leaves of the taxa were collected at an Experimental Unit from the Agronomical Institute from Campinas (IAC) located in Tatuí-SP. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation for 4 h, and component identification was performed by GC/MS [2]. The yields were found to be 0.027% and 0.00079% (w/w), for G. angustifolia and G. chacoensis, respectively. Terpenes and terpene-related compounds accounted for most of the compositions of the two samples.
